Somehow we need to have consequences for people who abuse their authority as they did here with the man in the boat. Not consequences to the city, but to the individual. Something along the lines of "you act like a jack booted thug for no good reason in the name of the people of the state of X and we see to it that it is your last opportunity to do so." Perhaps that would cut down on the "I did it cause I could bit."chasfm11 wrote:To me, this is exactly what makes this and situations like unconscionable. A boating safety check ( I've been through dozens of them by the Feds on Lake Grapevine) is to determine if proper safety equipment like flares and lifevests are on board. There is no reason to have to conduct such a check in the middle of a river that has a lot of current. It is simply an opportunity to teach another citizen who doesn't like the tactics a lesson. They could so they did. Compliance is the most important thing.philip964 wrote:Swat team to check for dirty water.
Pretty much says it all.
How bout the poor old man later on in the article that failed to stop mid stream for a safety inspection and when he got to shore to discuss it with them, they arrested him and took him a 100 miles to jail.
