I wouldn't put it past a farmer or another sportsman picking up some roadkill as for it not to go to waste.
the road kill rule is stupid as can be too and I do know some folks who prefer to not see waste.... I am a rule following law abiding scared of getting in trouble girl but this is stupid and a wanton waste of wildlife and I sure wont turn someone in that picks up a road kill

There have been numerous cases over the years where people will intentionally run over animals so they can bring them home to eat. How would an officer know if you just simply picked up a road kill deer or if you intentionally ran it over? There was a big case in Ocean Shores a couple years ago where 2/3 guys ran over a handfull of deer intentionally.

Umm can't say I see a huge problem with that example ocean shores is infested with deer...yes the law is there because 90% of honest people need to be kept in check for the one or two idiots that would purposely run over deer....but it makes it ok to have the law because it is protecting us from wrongdoing....sorry just don't buy it....and not gonna change my mind it is a dumb law

Complete waste of an animal in most cases. I also don't see it as a huge issue with folks intentionally running them over in order to take them home. I know, it does happen occassionally. However, most folks are not going to risk $1000's worth of damage to a rig for a bit of meat in the freezer. Sounds like an expensive way to harvest an animal in my opinion.
