This can't be constitutional, can it?

If you have explicit permission of the owner of the land to collect this data, it is allowed. Presumably Yellowstone has a policy allowing the taking of photographs.  So, the example related would not be relevant to the law.

Environmental conflict between Wyoming and the Federal government goes back over a century. In 1950, Wyoming won a special judgment that thwarts executive power to create national monuments in the state.

This has been going on since the days of Yellowstone.

Yeah, because this is just like that. Don't try to excuse the inexcusable.

Utah criminalized recording/taking unauthorized photos of agriculture a few years back, basically to protect factory farms. I'd say it's something in the water, but both state would probably jail me for that.

This cannot possibly be constitutional and would likely violate federal law and regulation. But since when do these kind of people care about that?

I'm pointing out the existence of a long-standing feud. My only argument is that ecological conflict between Wyoming and DC is the norm. People are only shocked if they don't know the history.

Ever been there?  I'd guess as much as in New Mexico...

The ignorance of the Land of Enchantment continues. Why does everyone hate New Mexico?

Also, I believe that King now resides in Illinois, the land of fields and crime, as well.

I wasn't trashing NM as much as defending WY ... Wyoming has some very beautiful areas and some more boring areas; I'm sure the same is true with New Mexico, hence the comparison...

No, you're making a false equivalence. This is obviously a totally different situation done in an attempt to cover up a public health concern.

Isn't this law in the same vein (or spirit) as criminalizing those who document animal abuse and cruelty at factory farms?

How do you think the federal government seizes land? Are you really so myopic that you've already forgotten about the Cliven Bundy affair?

If you don't understand the ecological politics of the Mountain West, don't comment.

Clueless worshipper of racist presidents telling me not to provide background information about mountain west ecopolitics to a vainglorious east coaster. So Atlas.

Seizing land? Bundy was the one trying to seize land, not the Feds.  The idea that renters have a right to seize property they've been renting is absolutely abhorrent to anyone who cares about the rule of law.
