In the past, I've witnessed fishers who have been trying to make a moderate livelihood through social ceremonial harvest have it confiscated by DFO officers with some charges allocated to them. Then it never goes to the court system afterwards. It typically gets thrown out.
In recent years, at least on Haida Gwaii—I can't speak for all the other communities—I've witnessed in my own community that there's more of a communal approach to it. The officers who confiscate some of the fish turn around and work together with the Haida nation to distribute that fish amongst the community, so it doesn't go to waste.
