I was reading one of the sites this is posted and they spoke of e coli levels in area water which apparently they believe were traceable to this guys property.



This was in LaPorte county Indiana if the gossip was correct. The landowner did sue for the trespass but was rebuffed by the judge.

Not sure of any of the facts, simply repeating what some of the folks were posting.

Did anybody notice the sheriff did not enter the property (short of the minor thing at the driveway) even after the woman was cruising all over the land?

It would seem if the woman did have rights to be there, given the aggressiveness of the landowner, he would have had rights to accompany the woman (for her safety). I don;t thing the sheriff was too confident of the womans right to be there either. I kind of think he told her she was on her own.
According to the CDC health inspectors (employed by our county health departments have Consitutional 'police' power. They are front line inspectors of threats of bioterrorism as well as those who don't abide by laws that protect public from health hazards (ie drinking water contaminated with animal feces or decomposing matter). You cannot sue them, they have immunity.

The Sheriff is obligated to watch the immediate threat to the inspector. My guess the inspector had done sufficient homework before arriving on the property and knew just where she wanted to go.

Also, he may have been making sure the property owner didn't leave.

But my first reaction to the deputy was he didn't have any idea what he was doing.
