I know I am the new kid on this thread but I have been reading this upsetting saga and feel like BY Bob does. He makes an excellent point one that I too have been thinking as I have followed the events of this evening.
If you were to be arrested or detained and held even for a short time that leaves your chickens vulnerable. They need you with them, and who knows what could happen while your forced to waded through all the paperwork and headaches that come with an encounter with the police.
Please stay safe this night and all nights.
