I was speaking about US Customs Officers in the above, not USCG personel.


The Coast Guard is the marine enforcement unit for the US Customs office.
At times of war the USCG reports to the Navy, but otherwise they report to
the Customs office.

No. They report to the Department of Homeland Security (what a great Nazi
name). They used to report to the Treasury Department hence the connection
with Customs. But that was before they became part of the Department of
Transportation.

Great, so the price of drugs goes up another notch, which means more crimes
committed to pay for it. Just great!

Plus WE have to pay to keep the poor Capt. in jail. Wonderful.....

mount a Boarding Party with M60's and Tompson's and returned to the
charterboat, boarded and found 50Kg of dope stuffed under a bunk.
Our guy busted him for an expired SOLAS Certificate, but the USCG
took the boat and the guy got 20 Years in the Federal Slam for Drug
Running.

Scott,
Well it does work as well as probation did. The apprehension and storing
for drug related offences is a billion dollar business. I have to wonder how
many cops, judges, lawyers and prison guards would get laid off if drugs
were decriminalized? Just think of the tax revenue is drugs were legally
sold at a reasonable price.

Coast Guard Inspections - where are the rules?
 

There are numerous sections in the United States Code, e.g. 46 USC Sec
2301, 2302, 2303, 2304, 4301, 4302, 4308, 6301. The major relevant
treaties are SOLAS and MARPOL. This information is also found in my
updated Rules Manual at

Where does it say this - I looked but can't find it - what law,
directive, statute - and what countries in the treaties??


The USCG
can stop and board any US vessel anywhere, any vessel in US
territorial waters, and many other vessels anywhere by treaty
agreement with their countries of registry.
