looks like california will have to fund and build its own navy to enforce its marine regulations ...
funny thing about boats.
They are considered to be Homes.
You need a warrant to search them.
each of my boats had at least two guns.
The most scared cop I ever met pulled my boat over for outdated yearly sticker.
Now this was a 45 foot sail boat.
I gave him permission to come aboard and only him.
His partner was scared as well
He made some demands which I refused as they endangered my craft and could become a nautical hazard. He declined to force me to comply.
Wise decision, he drove a 19 foot Tupperware boat and I sailed a 45 footer, who knows the water better?
I showed him my papers, he wrote a fix it ticket and left.
