Yep, but not in about 25 years. When I was a teen I'd often go play in the mud anywhere I could find some that looked "interesting" be it a public park, private property, etc. LOL...

Haha yea. It was on my grandfather's property during hunting season. He owns 350 acres; I wasn't even 'playing' just driving back to a field. NY State Trooper saw me and decided to follow me. I saw him whip off the road and start driving down the tree line behind me. I decided to go through a mud hole instead of around it (which had plenty of room to) he followed and got stuck. He was p*&^%d and tried fining me for destruction of property but I fought it and won and HE had to pay to have the ruts fixed because it was a corn lot. Epic fail on his part

I had the red and blue shining a spot light on the truck once when I buried it in a corn field. Turns out the field was really a marsh next to a small lake and it hadn't been planted in years because of flooding. I ended up barreling in there, made it about 20 ft, and sunk right down to the floor boards. No citation, but the cop already had the tow truck on the way before he came to talk to me. He said I had less than 10 minutes to get it out myself. Luckily I had a buddy on the way, since I was in the field for about 20 minutes before the cops showed up.

We had a "raid" up at the farm one time. Too bad I was in Florida at the time, woulda loved to have been there. Seems they got a "tip" there was pot growing on one of the lower fields (which was ridiculous, we only have 38 acres and only about 20 is farmable and we lease it to the neighbor with a 400 acre farm). But anyway, the county cops did them a raid, came in with a bulldozer and all kinds of ORVs. Tore down about 30' of fence to get down there, damaged cotton and soy the guy we lease to was growing.
Turns out they found NOTHING and it gets better, the county line is the center divider in the middle of the road out front, our property is in another county from theirs and they had NO jurisdiction! They had NO CLUE they crossed the county line and therefor did not contact the proper county authorities.
They had to pay restitution for damages to both us and the farmer we lease to. Dumba$$es!!!
