• Federal Wilderness Act
Hypothetical: You are an avid outdoorsman, and you’ve decided that your next thrill-ride is a snowmobiling trip in Colorado. You set out on a sunny day, but you soon find foreboding clouds above. Before you can turn back, a blizzard has set in. Lost from your original path, and with your snowmobile out of gas, you abandon it and walk to seek rescue. Luckily, a park ranger eventually finds you. After authorities retrieve your vehicle, however, you come to find that you have arguably committed a federal felony. When you strayed from your path, you ended up snowmobiling in federally-protected wilderness area, thus violating the Federal Wilderness Act.

Real-life example: Well-known automobile racer Bobby Unser found himself in this position in 1997. He spent two nights in blizzard conditions; when he was finally rescued by Forest Service rangers, they charged him with a provision of the Wildness Act that prevented motor vehicles in protected areas. His presumed accident—he claimed he never meant to end up on that territory—did not spare him from the subsequent charges.
 
And THAT is BS! Would just have to decide how hard to fight it, and what level youre prepared to go to
 
In the case of Bobby Unser it is a well accepted fact among locals that he was not lost when the entered the wilderness.

the rest is scary stuff. this exactly how they can get anyone of us if they so desire.
