In effect, issuing a warning - a misdemeanor - for potentially
violating a law is not accepted law enforcement practice. o put it
another way, the officer in question is issuing warnings for
potentially violating a law when he has no knowledge that the law will
be broken. He can only issue a warning at his discretion if the law
HAS been broken.

And if a boat is operating in Florida without a registration from
either Florida or some other state, a law has been broken.

Well, we ain't gonna change each other's minds on this. :)

Let's agree to disagree.
