Experiences with game and fish wardens.
Mine have always been good except with one game warden in Pa. who started giving me the business without identifying himself.

Back in the mid 70's my brother and I were doing some legal pre-season shining for deer out in the boon docks of our county. Brother was driving and I was doing the spotting with a plug in spotlight. I just happened to shine my light through the windows of a house accidently, as I didn't see it until we were upon it.
We continued another half hour or so until the blue lights of a conservation officer pulled us over. The head county officer by the name of Frank Allen. We had just shined his house!
He was pretty pissed and had us both get out of the truck together and place our hands upon the vehicle with our legs sprawled out. Then he went into the truck and really did a thorough search for weapons or alcohol or ??? He found nothing but made it a point of anger that he was pretty upset about the light hitting his house. He asked us both for our ID's and when he saw our last name asked if we were related to Harry Hall. Harry was our dad I said and ole Frank's rage turned into a much more friendly banter!
He once worked with our dad many years ago and they were good friends. He actually shook both of our hands and just told us to be careful next time. Say hi to your father from me and drove off.0
