If you are going to commit multiple crimes, why do you feel the need to record it?
http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/nearly- ... /605674781Nearly two dozen people could be charged in a massive poaching case filed in Washington and Oregon. And investigators say much of the evidence against them came from the suspects themselves.
Videos taken by suspected poachers documented what Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officers say was the ruthless slaughter of animals. Investigators combed through hours of footage shot on cellphones, and with cameras, showing wildlife tracked, cornered and gunned down. One hundred animals or more were killed simply for the thrill of it.
“They were serial killers of another kind,” said WDFW Deputy Chief Mike Cenci. “I mean I don’t understand the psychology of these people, I never will. But I can tell you they didn’t care about wildlife resources. They certainly didn’t care about the law.”
