Coast Guard Inspections
Bruce,
I believe the U.S. Customs can also board without probable cause. I understand that if you have a trailer boat they can follow you home and then search the home. Customs has a lot of power. Paul "Bruce in Alaska" wrote in message ... In article , Gogarty wrote: You are in a boat you are fair game for LEA, anytime, anyplace. Actually, the above is not quite correct. You are only "Fair Game" for the USCG, and not from just any LEA. You may refuse any local, State, or Federal LEO, to board your vessel without a Warrent. The only exception, besides USCG, would be a US Marshal. When ever I needed to board a vessel without the skippers permission (FCC Field Agent) I had to go get a USCG Officer/NonCom, or the local US Marshal, and use their authority to conduct my investigation. Only happened a few times while I was a Fed. Bruce in alaska -- add a 2 before @ |
