They say they were ticketed for not wearing life vests, although both are over the age for mandatory use of flotation devices.

Just great, more government telling us what to do for our own good. I’m sure some nanny-state conservative will be along shortly to support the ticket.

This reminds me of the story last week of a Manhattan woman who was ticketed 100 dollars for throwing a newspaper into a public trash can.

I REALLY need to find myself a nice uni-bomber style cabin it the woods and stay there.
This sh!t is getting really ridiculous.

The officer who wrote this ticket HAS to know that this sort of idiocy is made for the front page.

You don't need to include the un-bolded part to arrive at the miscarriage of justice.

Let’s see if the Progressive Humane Society of America will come to their defense.

Effective April 1, 2010, Maryland law states that all children under the age of 13 must WEAR a United States Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (life jacket - Type I, II, III or V) while underway on a recreational vessel under 21 feet in length on Maryland waters.

the sad part is if she was caught throwing the newspaper all over the middle of Madison ave she probably would of only gotten a 50 dollar ticket instead of the $100 for using a trash can.

I hope she learned her lesson.

That is about as ridiculous as Joe Soucheray’s Euphorians requiring helmets to be worn while bird watching, except the Euphorians are satire and this is the real world.

As for the $100 fine for throwing a newspaper into a public trash can - what was the woman supposed to do, toss it in the street?

The intent is to make us all criminals.

Cozy.
I’m pretty sure they sell those at Home Depot.

I would need a satellite TV dish on it though.
Uni-bomber would probably not approve.

No, the intent is to fund big gov in any way possible. Taxes are bad PR, so they find other ways....more secretive ways....ways that don’t require messy, complicated, and burdensome legislation.

There are always small people given jobs and authority who really do not have the brains nor the common sense to carry out their duties without making asses of themselves.

I have a Mryland DNR Lieut. living down the street from me, I will start razzing him tomorrow.
