This entire project does not pass the laugh test! Tax dollars down the drain.

Let me get this straight. You think that 3,852 boats drove directly towards a highly visible Marine Patrol boat with 2 foot letters on it describing it as such and didn't get pulled over for reckless driving?
If you read the report, they didn't include that data because they couldn't conclude "beyond a reasonable doubt" what speed the boat was traveling because they couldn't determine the angle of the target boat compared to their stationary boat/radar gun. Which is exactly why I believe these tickets, if they are ever handed out, will be easily overturned in court.
Talk about a waste of tax dollars.
