They employ a regular MP boat, you know, the distinctive design we all can spot about a mile away. If you are new to the lake there are always the words MARINE PATROL in two foot high letters on each side of the boat.
I can't imagine any observer seeing this and thinking "real" data is being collected.
If you want a lesson in police presence come on down to the Pine/Bear NWZ and see what passes for no wake speed when the MP are in site and when they are not. The same dynamic is evident in "speed testing".
It's no longer a joke, it is embarrassing and an insult to our intelligence.

So what do you suggest , everyone fly by the MPs??? Come on , use your head. Where ever you see a cop on land , speeding or not , everybody slows down. It's a natural reaction.
Why don't you be the first to fly past them at a dangerous and totally unsafe speed of , say , 51 or 52 mph and report back to us what happens
