3) it's hunting season in the area you were stopped and checked
How does the officer not have the right to complete a compliance check or random stop? All indications would have been that your hunting?
I'm just a little confused as to how the officer was in the wrong with this story.

Exactly,,,,
When can an CO stop a vehicle or not? Is it okay or not to stop a vehicle for a compliance check if he suspects the occupants have been hunting?
Or does the CO now need probable grounds that an offense has taken place in order to stop the vehicle?
If only the latter, compliance checks have become illegal.
