Further, a government search *with the consent* of the party being searched is perfectly legal. If the farmer refuses consent, and the government agent goes away, then nothing illegal occurred. Thus, the only way this new policy could lead to illegal searches, then, is if the government agent trespassed upon the farmer's land and searched despite the farmer's lack of consent. I highly doubt that would occur . . . unless I'm missing some secret motivation to search farm land here.<br><br>I understand the angst in the original message, because I agree that a person's signature ought to be good enough at the outset. But I think it goes too far to declare that the new policy is illegal per se. It simply is not. <br><br>The farmers who choose to sell at the market will do so knowing that this inspection is a prerequisite. If the farm is legit -- what's the problem? tag:itchymowin.charlottesvillecitymarket.com,2006-03-08:13977 webmstr 2006-03-08T15:04:15Z 2006-03-08T15:04:15Z This was forwarded from VICFA and posted here for reference, I suggest caution in apply any new procedures to the market that might be applied blanketly vs just toward the specific point of "reselling". tag:itchymowin.charlottesvillecitymarket.com,2006-02-27:11031 Nancy Hopkins 2006-02-27T15:30:02Z 2006-02-27T15:30:02Z Thanks for setting up this blog.
