I know my rights, thank you, and the idea that an LEO, probably with the assistance of Federal funds, could board my boat to count life preservers and it NOT be a direct violation of several God given rights is insulting.
Nanny state b.s. may be all the rage, but it's wrong here. You can do that stuff morally if the laws and founding principles are different. But, in America, the nanny state is not allowed by the rules.
At the current rate of things, soon one will need a prescription for alcohol and tobacco. So when this occurs, and it will based on the current trends, be sure you have a prescription for any alcohol or tobacco you may have on board your private vessel. Or else your boat will be impounded accumulating abundant usury fees, and you will go directly to jail where you can make usury bail.
Happy sailing.
