You could also call this:

"What powers do fish and game rangers have?"

If you are a fish and game ranger, you have certain powers. You can do things that a warranted officer can do under the Conservation Act 1987 or the Wildlife Act 1953. This includes powers under regulations or notices made under either of these Acts. You can exercise these powers as long as you follow the rules of your appointment and the Act.
