USCG Boat Search Protocol
"Milton Waddams" wrote in message ... A lawyer friend told me that the Coast Guard or any police agency must obtain a search warrant to search any" enclosed living spaces" aboard a vessel. Is this true? Thanks, Milton Depends upon the flag of the vessel. The Coast Guard may search a U.S. flagged vessel anywhere in the world. But, you have the right to deny a boarding unless at least one of the boarding party is a USCG officer. The Coast guard may only search a foreign flag vessel in U.S. waters without permission. Any police agency other than the Coast guard must obtain permission to board a U.S. vessel. If you deny them permission they MUST obtain a search warrant or enlist a Coast Guard OFFICER to do the boarding and searching. Foreign flag vessels have the same rights. Wilbur Hubbard |

Now what is the status on state registered vessels. -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass |
