Institute for Justice:

CASE UPDATE: Jeremy Bennett has dismissed his federal lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) after the agency removed its regulation allowing warrantless business inspections. ODNR also compensated Jeremy for his troubles—namely, a 2021 prosecution for allegedly “refusing” a warrantless inspection of his shop.

“I’m glad that I was able to make changes that apply to every Ohio business required to keep records by ODNR, not just my own,” said Jeremy. “For too long, Ohio taxidermists and deer processors have been subject to search at any time. But the new regulation requires these officers to seek our consent or get a warrant before entering—which means our constitutional rights as private property owners are respected. Accomplishing this for everyone is a tremendous feeling.”

ODNR’s regulation gave state game wardens virtually unlimited power to enter people’s private shops—without consent or a warrant—and spend hours snooping around. That regulation squarely violated the Fourth Amendment, and we’re delighted that Ohio has abandoned it!

I remember reading about this a while back. I'm glad to see the outcome was a good one!
