We get serveral eagle feathers in our yard every year. So if I pick them up to dispose of them, I would be in possesion of them and guilty of a misdemeaner?
I would just mail the eagle to the IRS and call it a voluntary forfeiture.
If this piece of art were to “accidentally” burn up in a fire, could they claim a $65 million loss?
Wasn’t there a guy named George III who used to think he could get away with %^ap like this!!
“Which way are we betting? Let me know in the comments!”
I’d bet the Feds and the IRS are just trying to see how irate We the People get when some of the uber-rich get theirs stolen...at some point the “precedence” “legitimizes” the act!!
I wouldn’t tell the feds you are doing it, but if you read that article closely, you will see that they monitor & investigate news reports. Their performance appraisal results depend upon how many “innocent” citizens they subject to fines. Just don’t pick up any feathers when the EPA drone is around.
This would set a bad precedent if it proceeds.
