We do the same around here all the time too. I just get sick of listening to people whine about getting caught. They should be a bit more concerned about their rights when they vote.
A few years back I got a ticket for being in the boat without a life preserver. I don’t like the law when its intended to protect an adult from themself but I did break the law and I paid the fine. Same with seat belts, I wear them because I want to but think the law sucks.
My next-door neighbor was shooting off commercial-quality airbursts for at least an hour. He probably spent a month’s house-payment on them! They’re illegal in NC without a license, but you can buy them in SC, only a half hour away. It was a great show. 40 or 50 of us were sitting on sitting on the sidewalk watching ... and he wasn’t the only one with a major production.
Somebody came by looking grumpy, but if he called the Sheriff (no town law, here) he got a brush-off.
We’d all have kicked in for Randy’s fine, if one was assessed!
