Wild Justice

[NewChief]

I haven't seen the show, but I did find this. That being said, I can just imagine the crappy way its shot (Steven Segal: Lawman anyone?). Unfortunately cop/jail/etc. dramas jumped the shark a while ago. I absolutely loved COPS for years, but I'm no longer very entertained by the genre (though DEA is still pretty good).

Game wardens in California are probably more likely than traditional officers to encounter illegal marijuana crops and drug smugglers because they are in the field. California's wardens issued about 45,000 to 50,000 tickets last year, about one-third of which fell into categories associated with traditional policing, Foley said.

And the job can be more dangerous than traditional policing, simply because of whom and what they patrol. Statistics show a warden is about 2.5 times more likely to be assaulted with a deadly weapon than are other officers, said Buonamici, Nevada's chief warden.

Even though the majority of crimes committed by poachers are misdemeanors, Fish and Game laws are some of the most dangerous laws to enforce. Some poachers are willing to kill to continue their pursuit of killing wildlife that violates only misdemeanor laws. The illicit trade in selling wildlife parts in “black markets” is second only to the illegal drug trade, involving hundreds of millions of dollars in the unlawful sale of wild animal parts.
This has led to two additional disturbing statistics:
Statistics show Game Wardens at much higher risk to be assaulted or killed in the line of duty more often than officers of other agencies
Wardens are most likely to be assaulted during their careers

Now I have no idea how those statistics came about, but I'd heard similar stuff.
