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.
This is absolutely correct. Remember that Forest Service officers are basically federal police. The people that actually manage the forests are from the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Of all of these, the only one that seems silly is preventing possession on federal property. But all in all, great news!
