<\/div>

A July 2016 federal court decision has upheld Wyoming laws that impose criminal and civil penalties for collection of \u201cresource data\u201d[1]<\/a> when the collection involves trespassing on private lands, even when the trespass is unintentional, and even when the trespass is incidental to the collection.<\/p>\n

The Wyoming legislature enacted these laws in 2015, outlawing the collection of \u201cresource data\u201d on any \u201copen land\u201d when the data was submitted or intended to be submitted to the government.\u00a0 The statutes defined \u201copen land\u201d as \u201cland outside the exterior boundaries of any incorporated city, town, subdivision . . . or development.\u201d\u00a0 There was confusion as to whether this meant private land only, or whether state or even federal land also qualified<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the Western Watersheds Project, a conservation non-profit that monitors water quality in Wyoming and other states, filed a suit challenging the new laws, accompanied by other groups including the National Press Photographers Association and the Natural Resources Defense Council.\u00a0 The Plaintiffs claimed that these data trespass laws amounted to unconstitutional censorship, violating the First Amendment\u2019s Free Speech clause and the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s Equal Protection clause, and they argued that Wyoming\u2019s data trespass laws were preempted by various federal environmental statutes.<\/p>\n

It has been alleged that these laws were specifically designed<\/a> to stop the Western Watersheds Group, and similar organizations, from monitoring pollution caused by Wyoming\u2019s ranching industry.\u00a0 The Washington Post<\/em> wrote<\/a> that the law was written because \u201cWyoming doesn\u2019t want you to know how much cow poop is in its water.\u201d\u00a0 The Wyoming Outdoor Council also criticized the law<\/a>, saying it is \u201cso risky for wildlife researchers. \u00a0We\u2019re worried about people making honest mistakes and being guilty of this crime.\u201d\u00a0 The University of Wyoming lobbied, unsuccessfully, for an academic exemption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an initial December 2015 decision, the District of Wyoming federal court dismissed Plaintiffs\u2019 claims that public participation provisions in various federal environmental statutes preempted the Wyoming data trespass law.\u00a0 The Court held that certain federal environmental statutes may authorize public participation, but they \u201cdo not permit or encourage the public to participate and submit data by whatever means necessary, and certainly do not authorize trespass.\u201d \u00a0Thus, the Court concluded, there was no conflict.<\/p>\n

However, the December 2015 decision allowed Plaintiffs\u2019 other arguments to stand, stating that \u201cthis Court has serious concerns and questions as to the Constitutionality of the various provisions of these trespass statutes.\u201d\u00a0 The Court held that preventing trespass was a legitimate government interest, but the statutes did not seem to be sufficiently narrowly tailored.\u00a0 Moreover, given Plaintiffs\u2019 allegations that the government was trying to shut down environmental groups, the Court \u201cfinds Plaintiffs have cast doubt that the trespass statutes were passed merely to prevent trespass.\u201d\u00a0 The Court concluded that, while the data laws may be \u201cfacially neutral,\u201d they also may \u201csimply be a fa\u00e7ade for content or viewpoint discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, the Wyoming legislature revised the statutory provisions<\/a>, Wyo. Stat. \u00a7 6-3-414 (criminal) and \u00a7 40-27-101 (civil).\u00a0 While most of the language was kept identical, there were three important changes: 1) the revised statutes clarified that they applied only to private lands (eliminating any reference to \u201copen lands\u201d); 2) they only required that data be \u201ccollected,\u201d not that the resource data be submitted or intended to be submitted to the government; and 3) \u201ccollect\u201d was defined to mean \u201cto take a sample of material, acquire, gather, photograph or otherwise preserve information in any form and the recording of a legal description or geographical coordinates of the location of the collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Western Watersheds Plaintiffs amended their complaint, and the Defendants filed another motion to dismiss.\u00a0 This time, in a July 6, 2016 opinion<\/a>, the Court granted the Defendants\u2019 motion to dismiss in full.<\/p>\n

The Court concluded that the revisions had addressed the Constitutional concerns.\u00a0 Because the laws now applied only to private land, the Court held that the statutes rationally furthered the legitimate government interest of protecting private property from trespass.\u00a0 The Court also held that the revised laws were appropriately tailored, because they did not require the data be submitted or intended to be submitted to the government, and thus \u201cthe statutes are aimed completely at deterring trespassing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plaintiffs argued that these laws would impinge on their abilities to monitor environmental problems, and that these laws would unfairly criminalize accidental trespass, but the Court was not persuaded.\u00a0 The Court stated that the \u201cability to pinpoint and record the location of alleged environmental violations is essential to Plaintiffs\u2019 mission and goals. . . .\u00a0 To say that Plaintiffs are incapable of utilizing the same GPS tools, methods, and research to determine their own location during, and en route to, such data collection activities is borderline disingenuous.\u201d \u00a0The \u00a0Court also noted that \u201cthere is strong evidence, based on Plaintiffs\u2019 own admissions, that existing trespass laws do not deter them from entering private lands to collect data or to access other lands to collect data.\u201d\u00a0 The Court concluded that the \u201cends, no matter how critical or important to a public concern, do not justify the means, violating private property rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Court reviewed the statutes\u2019 definition of \u201ccollect\u201d and noted that there were ways to report findings without triggering a \u201ccollection\u201d that would violate the revised statutes.\u00a0 \u201cSimply calling emergency personal, or verbally reporting findings to law enforcement, even providing geographical coordinates, would not violate the revised statutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Court briefly analogized the data trespass law with Wyoming\u2019s hunting trespass law, Wyo. Stat. \u00a7 23-3-305(b)<\/a>, which also criminalizes unintentional trespass when it relates to hunting, fishing, or trapping.\u00a0 However, the Court did not compare the punishments under the two laws.\u00a0 Under the hunting trespass law, an offender is\u00a0punished with a $1,000 fine and\/or up to six months\u2019 imprisonment.\u00a0 The data trespass law has harsher penalties, and also distinguishes between first-time and repeat offenders:\u00a0 under the data trespass law, a first-time offender is punished with a fine of up to $1,000 and\/or a prison sentence of up to one year (no minimum sentence). \u00a0A repeat offender under the data trespass law is punished with a fine of up to $5,000, and\/or a prison sentence with a minimum of 10 days up to a maximum of one year.<\/p>\n

In comparison, under Wyoming\u2019s general trespass provisions<\/a>, intentional trespass carries a maximum penalty of a fine of $750 and\/or six months\u2019 imprisonment.\u00a0 (Unintentional general trespass is not considered criminal.)<\/p>\n

The data trespass penalties are intended to have a deterrent effect.\u00a0 Larry Hicks, a Republican state Senator and the lead architect of the law, has said that the law was necessary to protect landowners.\u00a0 \u201cIf somebody comes on your private land [without permission] and collects information about your property, that belongs to you \u2014 it is no different than stealing your social security number . . . . This is about people taking your information and doing something that was going to damage you, and done in an illegal fashion,\u201d said Sen. Hicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the July 6 order, the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation issued a statement that it was<\/a> \u201cpleased with the strengthening of private property rights.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 An attorney for Plaintiffs commented that<\/a> \u201cWe think [the decision] fails to recognize the state is seeking to limit the speech and government participation of a variety of groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Western Watersheds Project and co-Plaintiffs are currently considering whether to appeal<\/a>.\u00a0 Under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure<\/a>, a notice of appeal must be filed on or before August 5.<\/p>\n
