The F&W guys just needed some time off the water to run errands.
LOL man with a mugshot like that you had to be hammered!! You resemble someone infamous

Seriously, the law enforcement people have good, bad and ugly in their ranks just like every other profession. I was stopped in Cape Canaveral Port and found out we were being filmed for an info spot (training vid? News spot?) I can't remember....but he was putting on a show. Speaking to us as kids and here we were both older than he was. No biggie since we were not drunk and passed his test on questions and balance but it was funny how his demeanor changed once the cameras were on.

He shook our hand and said be careful and was never out of line. I guess my point is we could have been the film spot for how someone gets sent to jail for breaking the law instead of a spot on getting a warning.

If I'm breaking the law and get a ticket or whatever then I blame myself for putting myself in that position. If I get a break I consider myself lucky. If I get taken advantage of then I get pissed. I would be upset if I was in that situation you were in for sure.
