Cool Registrations-In-the-Red, and "The Thin Blue Line"

The original poster doesn't list his town: Wolfeboro has steadily been losing the places where a weekend registration can be sought. Is it at zero now?

My BIL goes to Melvin Village Marine.

Raising the amount marinas receive for their time spent in recording registrations should fix that problem, which is the subject of another thread here. Five years ago, I'd mentioned that necessity here—which included the doubling of boats' registration fees—then doubling them again.

My professional—and occasionally intense—associations with this legal system has demonstrated that our system of Jurisprudence has put an extremely heavy burden on the individual law enforcement officer.

In addition to requiring expertise in an ever-changing legal environment (if or when warrants are required, and when other interpretations of The Founders' collective genius are affected), the officer must excel in "First-Responder" skills such as CPR.

Too often, he becomes the target and defendant in a civil lawsuit in either case.
