USA earthworms are protected by law
    Some time ago, I went to New Jersey to visit my uncle America. I accompanied him to go fishing. I am a foreigner, no fishing license, no qualifications operating rod, had to stare cannot. Today, my uncle took the bait is small dough, fishing for a half day. Did not see a fish hook. One onlooker caught me wondering: perhaps this fish don't like eat vegetarian, to change the meat? So I decided not to say hello, uncle, went to a flower garden, with the umbrella point when the shovel, dug into the soil for earthworms, soon turned out three earthworm. I grabbed the three wriggling earthworms, excitedly went to his uncle and said: "try it, there may be effects." He then handed him the earthworm. Uncle saw, suddenly be frightened and change color, repeatedly said: "no! No! Quick release to the original place to go!" with these words, he lowered his voice and said: "my nephew ah, in this regulation innumerable place, earthworms are strictly forbidden to do bait. If found by the police, not only by the fines, and may be brought to the office to reflect."

I listen to One's face turned white., when I back to the three earthworm released back into the garden, a white police officer a black police went to the uncle and me, say they patrol spotted nursery side was dug in what things, so he soon came. I call a spade a spade dug three earthworm. At this time, black police look immediately became serious, ordered me to palm loose, to confirm Is it right? Three red earthworms

Later, two police officers with me quickly went to the front of the flower beds, looked at me three earthworm released into the soil, watched the three earthworm slowly drilled soil. They face seemed to show a little smile. This release process, by the white policeman with digital cameras. Finally, the black police took a small book from the pocket to write a pass, tear off a piece and handed it to me, I see and be frightened and change color, because it is a fine receipt, writing above each red earthworms fined $30, totaling $90.

But things haven't finished, white police from the pockets out of a piece of white cloth, spread on the ground. Some dough bait to uncle will be packed in glass bottles were down on the white cloth, uncle did. White oath observation from motorcycle trunk took a small instrument, squat down one by one on dough were detected, uncle told me, just wasn't put maggots put on the hook is called. Otherwise can not be $90 to settle things.
