Virginia Agency Makes Move To Fight Terrorism
(Hampton Roads, VA, September 28th, 2004, 3:00 p.m.) Tuesday afternoon, the Virginia Marine Resource Commission made a move to fight terrorism. Your NewsChannel 3's Judge Cochran has the details in this story.
Commission members adopted security zones this afternoon around Hampton Roads bridges and tunnels. Leaders of the Virginia Marine Police Authority pushed for the security zones regulation at a meeting in Newport News.
Here is how it works. The new regulations give the Marine Police the authority to keep you and your boat 100 yards away from the structures like the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. In fact, you need to stay clear of all other local bridges and tunnels as well.
And the Marine Authority has the right to board your boat as well for inspection, As Lewis Jones from the Virginia Marine Police told us, "We would be there in force to properly inspect the vessels and informed them of the zone at that time." Right now, the regulation is ready to go. If you violate a security zone, you face a one year jail sentence and/or a 2,500 dollar fine.
