Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Colorado hunting violations

Hunting fiasco in Colorado for family lead to violations cited as 33-6-109(3.4),36-6-107(3) and 33-6-121. All 3 members cited for same with only one animal taken. The term ''complicity'' listed on the form for 2 of them. This was on private land. All had valid licenses. They were detained and handcuffed. Not read rights until hour later for one and two hours later for the others. Hauled to jail, fingerprinted and photo. Had to post bail. Some other issues are taking licenses from all then returning one, taking one of the cameras (no receipt given) and taking their cash, sealing in personnel envelope but on return were given checks to cash. Many other issues. Need to find law firm not afraid to challenge Co Dept of Wildlife. Also, next day went to file trespass charges and Sheriff refused to do so. These hunters did not resist, try to run or un-cooperative but yet treated like this. Any help, advice appreciated.

Re: Colorado hunting violations

You present this to criminal defense attorneys, so there is no need to get involved with DOW if this is a criminal case. It is between the defendants and the DA of the county wherein the alleged violations occurred. Is any member of the group still in custody? Has bond been set? Has trial been set? Know that anything said to the cops or in court or anywhere else will be used against you now that Miranda advisement had been given. We need to get bond set, get defendants out of custody and set for trial. Don't plead "guilty."
