Slacker. :-)

You're giving this guy 30 days per year paid leave and every weekend
off?
Maybe so, public employee and all....

Using your numbers, he's all the way up to 1.06 tickets per day
instead of "less than one". The material fact is that he's not some
sort of out-of-control ticket writing robot slapping a citation on
everything in sight.

He's enforcing the Florida law that says your boat must be registered
in some state, and that state can be somewhere other than Florida if
that is where you live. He's handing out warning tickets to out-of-
state boaters who come from states that don't require boat
registration, when if he wanted to be a real stickler he would be
entirely justified in writing them an actual citation. The folks who
receive a warning ticket have two weeks to either finish their
vacation in Florida and go back home -or figure out how to get a state
registration, (presumably from Florida), for their boat.

The guy sounds like a bit of a jerk, with the lawbooks and all, but I
suspect he carries those as a result of confrontations with folks who
don't know the law or who feel that the laws of the State of Alabama
(or wherever) just ought to apply in Florida.

Why would we not want to obey the laws of states and countries where
we are visitors? Makes no sense to me to do otherwise.
