ALERT: Arizona Warrantless Seizure Bills
For easier reading and to take action, click here: https://usark.org/24az/
Hearing: Thursday, February 15
Senator Bolick of Arizona has introduced Senate Bill 1603 that will allow for warrantless search of private property and seizure of your pet animals. Senate Bill 1204 (Senator Kavanagh and Representative Shah) was also introduced and is almost identical.
Remember, warrants protect us from unreasonable governmental intrusion. As if that is not bad enough, the bills would make it so that, “The formal rules of evidence do not apply and reliable hearsay is admissible in the postseizure hearing.” Please read that last sentence again! “The formal rules of evidence do not apply and reliable hearsay is admissible…”
First, the formal court rules are tossed out the window. This means that the due process that typically exists in court does not apply. Additionally, hearsay is generally inadmissible in court unless a special exception is provided because it is not considered reliable or trustworthy. If this bill passes, hearsay will be good enough for the seizure and State possession of animals in Arizona. Needless to say, this goes against our constitutional rights as Americans.
There is much more wrong with the bill such as committing class warfare against lower-income families who cannot afford court, required bonds, or impound fees. Most Americans could not afford the attorney fees if they chose to challenge one of these seizures. The bill allows for too much subjectivity in assessing the welfare of the animals in question and does not provide for any checks or balances against the agencies in charge.
The bills' language also provides that the seizing agency can place the animal with any “person, agency, or shelter, including a volunteer” and the animal owner is responsible for covering all of the costs billed by that party in addition to the legal fees. Just the required bond may be too much for people to fight for their animals. Imagine your pets being seized and then being kept by some random person as allowed in this bill.
This is a bill that sounds good and attempts to protect animals, on the surface. It would be great if actual animal cruelty could be properly addressed faster. However, one must consider that any rogue enforcement officer could seize animals as they see fit whether there is animal cruelty or not. Any animal rights-minded officers could seize healthy animals and claim there were problems. This scenario has already played out.
SB1204 has a hearing on Thursday, February 15 with the Senate Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee. Read the agenda at https://www.azleg.gov/agendas/0215012028128.pdf. The hearing starts at 9:00 AM in Senate Hearing Room 2 (SHR2).

Starting simple to prove the Super Stranger. Tried to get him to steal the sire on a late 23 clutch but despite locking a couple times found out today he didn’t get the sire. This is one of a handful he’s on the roster for this year. will probably prove it before us now but that’s ok! Still super stoked we tested him positive for clown thanks to and can’t wait to test him for monsoon. This boy just keeps getting better and better looking and he’s a breeding machine!
Well give the MM auctions a shot, heard mixed results. Well established male loaded with incomplete dominants and het clown poss het hypo.

So behind on updates. Been on a big of a trade frenzy as of late. No complaints here. Next few posts will be some highlights of recent trades.
Starting things off with this beautiful boy from Brian over at
1.0 OD Leopard Spotnose Ultramel
Stunner!
Never wanted a male to steal the clutch as bad as this one. Multiple locks from another male earlier. 28mm on the female right now and swapped in this boy to try to seal the deal at the last minute.
It’s a long shot, but super stranger thing have happened.
cross your fingers! Lol
