A federal lawsuit filed Monday against the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission seeks to strike down a state law that gives PFBC officers broad authority to conduct warrantless searches on private land. The lawsuit was filed by Pennsylvania resident Tim Thomas, who accuses a waterways conservation officer of snooping around his lake house, harassing him and his wife, and issuing him bunk citations in 2023.

Thomas claims in the lawsuit that conservation officer Ty Moon conducted multiple unconstitutional searches at his lakeside cabin in Susquehanna that summer. He says that on two occasions, Moon entered his property without his or his wife’s consent to search for evidence of potential fish and boat violations. Thomas also accuses Moon of harassing them and spying on them with binoculars from the other side of the lake. In both instances, Moon issued Thomas a citation, and each time, Thomas was vindicated and had the citations dropped.
