MP Patrols

I can think of two instances (one for noise mind you :rolleyes: ) that I was personally involved in that were handled with total and careless disregard on the part of the MP. I can't begin to tell you how many I have been witness to that just reinforce the need to bring on REAL, not "part-time" law enforcement officials to do this job. An 18 year old with minimal training and a big ego just doesn't cut it on the lake any more. I have been on the lake since I was 10 months old, (I'm 35 now) and with the changes that have taken place over the years, there is no way that job should be left to a group of part-time amatures these days! I am not "bashing" - (I have better things to do with my time), I am calling it like I see it. If we are going to have laws and enforce them, we need to have it done by full time law enforcement personnel! Next time you have an hour or two to kill, get in a boat - or just go sit on the end of the dock at Weirs beach on a Saturday and watch the antics of the 100's of boaters going in and out of the channel and see how the "mall police" handle it, it's scary!
