Please folks, if you are going to drag me into the conversation and throw about legal terms at least know what you are talking about.
You do not need "probable cause" to stop a boat. You need "probable cause" to effect an arrest.
You only need "articulable suspicion" to stop and temporarily detain a boat operator.
There is a significant legal difference between these two legal concepts.
Thank you....
