It was a park ranger, who said she had been watching the pair, knew who they were and what they were up to, Simcox said.

I didn't realize the Park Service was on such a power trip all over the nation, including Arizona.

I'm glad to see the Park Service is paying so much attention to two citizens while illegals are probably streaming through the park and damaging the environment.

I wonder how many dozens of illegals wandered by while she was hiding in the bushes waiting for her real game?

Everyone that works for the government in any way what-so-ever has been given
instructions to "turn in their neighbor" for the slightest suspicion of anything...

Now, someone is gonna ask me to prove that...sorry, I can't as it was done...
"off the record" in the name of "Homeland Security"...

Obviously a CRB holdover from the last administration.

I had no idea the service had a need to have the assets to do these things . Park Ranger indeed .

Just another segment of the national police force which also includes: FBI, secret service, postal inspectors, US marshals, IRS (armed), etc., etc.

Oh, you have no idea! I used to have to work with them and I couldn't believe how protective they were of their turf. When I mentioned it to our park's head (he wasn't like that), he said that it was a mentality that grew out of the protection of the wildnerness in the west (and I am in an urban area of the east). Very difficult people.
