He isn't charging them with "sailor-mongering". He is charging them with boarding the ship before it is secure in port.

No matter if you are trying to sell something or make a political point you are interfering with the crew at a delicate time. The law its self makes no reference or exemptions for reasons for boarding the ship. It only states that should you do it you should be detained by the crew, receive a fine of no more the $200.00 and/or 6 months in jail.

See my post #104. You are exactly right on the charge. But Greenpeace is facing quite substantial fines. Much more than $200.00.

Turley was totally off the mark when writing this.
