Just to follow up on Island-Ho's thoughts 
 
Even if the time of the ticket is at the end of the stop and after sunset wouldn't the MP boat call the stop into MPHQ when the stop was first initiated?   So if you wanted to dispute the ticket and timeline the MPHQ should have the time of the inital stop written in their log. 
 
BTW I beleive liberator said he was able to talk MP out of a ticket and just received a verbal warning. 
 
As for MP targeting groups.  If I had to venture a guess I'd say they are probably more focused on boats they believe might be able to go above the new speed limit law in anticipation of it taking effect.  Kind of putting folks on notice this year.  That, coupled with boat traffic being lighter they have less to do.
