They did any way. When asked to see thier clipboard ,after they assured my wife they had not recorded our numbers, there was my bow number. I only spoke with the male Lake Host who lied to my wife wherein he assured her that he had not done so. He handed me his clipboard and indicated that I could scratch my numbers off. I did. His female counterpart then contacted the Moultonborough police department and indicated that I had intimadated her. At no time did she or her counterpart indicate that I used threatening, boistreous, or foul language, or for that matter ever speak with the female Lake Host representative, as per the Moultonborough police report. I was then contacted be Sargent Beede and told that I needed to give a statement. I am now fearful that if I launch a boat in Moultonborough that my personal info is to be tracked agaist my will and/or I will be accused of , well anything, if I attempt to launch a boat by myself (without a wittness). I have been informed by chief Dawson of the Moultonborough police department that as the town agreed to the milfoil project by the department of enviromental services and in the contract we "agreed" to have that information tracked. Subsequently I have interveiwed with chief Dawson and he has indicated that the Moultonborough police department has had other troubles with the lake host program representatives.
When you're out with the public, you have no right to absolute privacy.Ask any celebrity about paparazzi. Please don't look at me in the market. Don't look at my car's license plate. The photo you're taking of your girlfriend had me in the background. No photos on The Mt. when there are crowds. Why are you paranoid about your plate being recorded? Stay home!
