I don't know the semantics of it all really but I can tell you I watched a state policeman do something very similar in a DUI case against a friend of mine. He didn't remember half of what happened, more or less made up stuff to fill in the blanks and said a lot of "ums, and maybes" right to the judge lol, friend still caught the charge even though he couldn't recount the scene from less than a week before, and I was on scene as well as in the court room sitting there saying in my head "nope, not what happened, nope that wasn't there" etc haha.
Oh yeah they'd definitely get you there, I was just arguing the one point lol

haha believe me I'd love to put the guy who worded the legislation on the stand. "what is a restricting snake? can you point one out of these pictures? What do they restrict you from doing?"

Exceeeept many common constrictors are actually native species (kings, corns, several boa species) so even that is factually incorrect. The law as written is over broad and unenforceable. You wouldn't even need a good lawyer to point that out.

if its like any other of PA's exotic animal laws it will have the damning wording in the legislation somewhere of "non-native" "exotics". You aren't allowed to own more than one native snake in PA as is UNLESS its wild caught and you possess a valid fishing license lol, unless they have since changed that law at some point. And last time I looked around I couldn't find any boas here haha.

Yea, what is a Restricting Snake? I would like to have one of these new types of snakes. Then again, a tomato is scientifically a fruit unless you were the Supreme Court of 1893. Goes to prove that a piece of paper does not mean "Educated".
