That is all well and good, but what happens when the Marine Patrol references the incorrect wording in the manual and issues a ticket? This thread has mentioned misinterpretation on the part of the Marine Patrol...so, the correct thing is to word this stuff clearly. The public should not have to wonder what the intent of a statute is, rather, it should be clear. Isn't that the point of having statutes?
