When did it become MP's job to tow everyone home that ran out of gas? Isn't that what towboatus is for? I'm trying to think of the last time I saw a State Trooper with a vehicle in tow.... Nope, can't recall a single instance.
I'm not unsympathetic to those that run of out of gas -- heck, we towed someone in on our last day out this season -- but to knock a public safety function for not being AAA of the wet, that's not valid.
On this Thanksgiving I'm thankful that we have a big lake, the means to enjoy it and Marine Patrol working in partnership with the rest of us to help keep it safe and enjoyable for both boaters and property owners.
