Not lookin fer trouble

wrote:
I am generally courteous to law enforcement people cuz if they want
they can always find something to cite you for so you might as well get
on their good side. This has worked most of the time for everybody
except the local marine patrol officials who just seem to be ****ed
about life. Fortunately,I never fish (my 9 yr old daughter did two
days ago) so they cannot hassle me about that and never have fishing
gear aboard my sailboat. I also think they tend to stop powerboaters
more as I have never been stopped while on open water.
However, I am building a powerboat (A Tolman Skiff) and I know very
little about power boats. Worse, my daughter now wants to take up
fishing so I may have to do so for awhile. So, although I plan to take
the Power Sqdrn course, I just expect to get hassled. So, how do you
get on their good side (do they have one?) Are my bad experiences with
them just really bad luck or are they generally nasty when they stop
you?

Could these guys be underpaid, under trained good 'ole boys?
What qualifications do they need to join the force. Who is responsible
for them? Why not take your concerns to your elected
representative....or directly to Jeb himself?
