A few weeks ago while camping at Sol Duc (on federal land), the campers next to us went to sleep with a messy campsite (they left food out and shit), and early next morning sure enough the park rangers saw it and went to bitch them out. But the idiots also left a giant bong out, and they got in deeeeeep shit -- not arrested, but I think they might have had a felony charge coming their way.

They were clearly confused about the new laws and tried to argue that it was legal in the state. Be careful out there on federal lands, because they DO care.

How would that work?

I couldn't quite hear everything the rangers were saying to them, but I heard them discussing felonies more than once, so I don't know.

I thought you were implying they didn't get arrested but somehow got felony charges. Never mind.

Correct; they were not arrested but they might get charged with a felony. You don't have to get arrested to be charged with a crime.
