You complain about boardings being illegal search and siezure, while
advocating turning a RIGHT into a privilege?


What "right", driving a boat? When did that become a "right"? If I have
a "right" to drive a boat, there's absolutely no reason to stop me from
doing so, fire extinguisher or not! Boating isn't a "right" on the
public's waterways no more than driving is a "right" on the public's
roads.

A cop can't stop you while you are driving your car legally just to snoop
into your trunk for his own edification. That's against my Bill of
Rights against illegal search and seizure...or it was Friday afternoon if
they haven't deleted it, yet. It is STILL illegal search and seizure for
a watercop, from whatever bureaucracy, to stop you for the same reason,
to snoop into your boat for no reason. Same Bill of Rights, as of Friday
afternoon.

It's bull****.....and illegal. My fire extinguisher has been
"inspected" 5 times in ONE day in the jetboat....how stupid.

Actually, transporting oneself and one's private property upon the public
roadways is a right well-enshrined in our legal traditions, and recognised
by no less than the US Supreme Court in many decisions. Similarly, the
transportation of oneself and property upon the common waterways is also a
right. Engage in commerce using that property, and that right no longer
exists.

Somewhere along the way, the distinction between COMMERCIAL traffic and
private use became blurred, then obliterated.

You DO have the right to use your automobile on the public roadways, and the
right to use your boat on the public waterways, and the right to be free
from unreasonable searches and seizures in both cases. But until the sheeple
stand up for their rights en-masse, the nail that stands up will be hammered
down.
