"This tool is extremely important in our effort to curtail illegal activity that is otherwise undetectable.""This is similar to other law enforcement agencies watching an intersection based on reports of frequent instances of failing to stop at a stop sign, or monitoring speed compliance using radar."Anyone found guilty of shooting an artificial animal may lose his or her license, face a fine up to $1,000 and a possible jail sentence of up to six months. There's also a minimum $50 restitution fee for shooting an ASA.Officers can also cite people for shooting from a road, trespassing, shooting from a motorized vehicle, and other related infractions.Judges and prosecutors typically treat ASA cases the same as shooting real animals. More than 48 states have been using artificial animals since the late 1980s.Paid AdvertisementIn Other NewsNotifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.No ThanksAllow
