one iota of damage or use of our natural resources beyond the right   
to visit them.

I think bureaucrats tend to forget that these resources BELONG to the  
people. Somehow when an organized lobby like SnowMobile distributers get into  the 
picture, all sorts of abuses are permissable, but then that's corporate  
Americe, not just us plain ol' folks. 
If they want to give you a citation for indecent exposure, that's at least  
defendable in court, and there is a burden of proof and a need for offended  
witness evidence, but these vague criteria type of catch-all accusations  smack 
of a different kind of society than was envisioned by our laws.
I'm disturbed by this use of authority, and perhaps we photographers as a  
group, need to get involved in the process.
