Operation Dry Water - Law Enforcement

[olgreenboat]

Oh it gets better
With the 2011 Operation Dry Water comes a battery of tests that, after a three-year study, the Southern California Research Institute has validated for marine use. The new battery of testing standards will for the first time, allow marine patrol officers to tests boaters in a seated position and apply a percentage of probability that the subject is impaired at .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or higher.

This means even tho your Blood alcohol is not .08 you can still get a ticket or go to jail..
If there is one thing I do hate about Ky. It is that every thing California does Ky. Will do.
I don't drink any more and never did while hunting or fishing but I think I will stay at home that week end. To me it is harassment for the little guy and just another way to make a buck for them. I do my best to stay safe and keep only legal fish but I have come home with one or 2 fish that seems to have shrunk a 1/8th of an inch for some reason and it would just burn my @$$ to get a ticket for It. ( I no longer keep fish that close anymore)

Personally I would start a boycott on this ! I'm like the rest of you if your going to check one check them all and leave no stone unturned..
I vote we get a bunch of video cameras and every one follow the game wardens around just to see who they are checking and who they let get by with illegal stuff ...

So if you're in a bass tournament, you don't want to be given the courtesy of a pass-over? I've always believed that if you are wearing your life jacket, or appear to be fishing a tournament, the KDFWR police boats tend to leave you alone to better focus their efforts on the runabout crowd....

Reguardless of this whole discussion no one should be drinking and driving a boat or any vehicle for that matter. And I LOVE my beer......but I know when the right time to drink is and isn't....
