Here in Iowa we had a cop kill a guy in his bunk, in a designated
anchorage. The cops tried to allege it was somehow the victims fault
for not showing non required lights. We had a drunk run down a boat,
hit it from behind, went over the top of the victim, killing the
driver, and kept right on going. They found the damaged boat and
witnesses to each of the drinks the guy had that night.

I'm in favor of laws that take auto driving licenses away from drunk
boat drivers. I'm also in favor of licensing drivers of power boats with
more than a very small engine (in order to allow kids to drive their own
boats). I also favor mandatory jail time for the *first* DUI offense,
and increased time in jail for subsequent convictions.

Around the Groton/Mystic area, they have special licsencing for kids
and horsepower restrictions - must be going on twenty/twenty five
years now.

It's worked real well too.

I also favor mandatory jail time for the *first* DUI offense,
and increased time in jail for subsequent convictions.

I prefer much more drastic punishment - like one strike and you are
breaking rocks forever.

Getting started in powerboats with a small boat and a small motor is the
way to do it. Getting started with a rowboat without a motor is even
better. You learn a lot about the water, waves, wind...physics, as it were.

Besides, it's stupid to punish someone by taking away something that had
nothing to do with the crime. By Harry's stupid reasoning, if you were
caught slandering someone, maybe they'd take your boat away? Hmmm, hey,
wait.......that IS a good idea.
