This draconian sentence  hearkens back to killing the King's deer in medieval England. The state puts on a huge charade, pretending like it has been victimized, demanding $2,000 in "restitution." Since when did the state demand $2,000 from every motorist who kills one of their precious deer? I hope the people charged with "aiding a wildlife offense" made the state prove their case. What a joke. The cherry on top, the OSP stealing this kid's rifles, is the most obscene part. The trooper who wrote the citations probably clicked his heels together with glee, knowing that his prey were going to be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. He likely also ate venison steaks for dinner that evening.  So fun, and trendy, to be a cynical hunter of your fellow citizens. All the easier, too, when you can blame the immorality of your deeds onto the corrupt lawmakers who tasked them to you. Civil forfeiture is a 'legal' maneuver being viciously abused by a criminal law enforcement community gone wild.
