Jim Healy:

Thank you for that!

I remember back in 1970 during the hippie era, when I would roll down the
highway in my ancient VW panel truck that had a full speed of 42 MPH .. and
I still would get pulled over, sometimes several times a day.  It used to
make me crazy at times.  Later they a court case decided that reasonable
cause was needed for that.

And a few years later a black man known as "the Walkman" was walking on the
sidewalk at 4:00AM in the mansion district of Beverly Hills and was
arrested.  He took it to the Supreme Court and won, so now the cops can't
hassle pedestrians either.

We will just have to wait til some boater takes it to the Court as well.

I was certainly ready to do it myself during my last summer in Port of NY,
when I was boarded at gunpoint 4 times in 2 months while photographing
tugboats.  Alas, I lacked the money and the time.

Maybe one day we will get lucky and some boater will do it.

Joe,

I respectfully disagree with the assertion that potti-patrols are the same
as a health and safety inspection of restaurants or buildings.
