It is a very dangerous slope to charge on something that has not occurred.
F&W could have warned him or waited untill he left the park before pulling him over and issuing a ticket.
As it is the OP was just sitting in his truck about to leave. He had not left, nor was in the process of transporting.
That is about as equivilent of sitting at the boat launch, you have 3 rods with tackle on them and the officer charging you with having more than one rod in the water. There is suspicion you might do it, but no proof untill it happens.
For the record most of the F&W officers i have met were decent. I have run into a handful where they were very sketchy..
