Prevention is key and the goal..... wiretaps??? What does that have to do with boats hurdling around a crowded lake at 90 plus. If only the live free or die really meant that...... often times it means " live free or die taking a few folks with me as a consequence of my selfish acts"...... Are we really "free" when we all as tax payers end up "paying" for this "freedom"? examples ...... no seat belt law, no helmet law and soon we will "pay" for no speed limit on Winni..... who do you think ultimately "pays" all the outrageous medical bills/court costs that are incurred not to mention the emotional toll on the family's when these freedom lovin folks bounce off a tree????? I wish it was that easy lake4life. Unfortunately often trying to protect the few idiots from themselves and utimately protecting the general public requires laws restricting the majority, an unfair yet neccessary result. Common sense would be preferrable yet unfortunately in very short supply.
