Larry W4CSC wrote: It is illegal and unconstitutional to stop you in your car for no reason other than the cop wants to go on a fishing expedition in your trunk..... Why is this different in my boat? Why can the cop go on a fishing expedition in my boat's "trunk" without a constitutional reason for stopping me in the first place? Why do boaters like Dave become conditioned to accept this on the water? What's the difference? Larry W4CSC Illegal Search and Seizure is illegal search and seizure..... This is very simple Larry. Your local "Man" (cops) operate under US Local, State, and Federal Law. The USCG operates under International Maritime Law, and Federal Statues. Two totally different sets of Law and Juresprudence. Most International Maritime Law dates back to the early 1500's and is big on AntiPirating, which was the scourge of the Higgh Seas back then. If your inside US waters it doesn't matter what Flag you fly, USCG can and does Board you at their whim. If your a US Flag thenUSCG can board you anywhere,anytime at their whim. If your a forein Flag and in International Waters, they must receive Permission of you Flag's Government to board, unless they have "Cause to believe that you have committed one of the Actionable Offenses inside US Waters and are fleeing, or you are a Pirate.
