That is unfortunate that you are unable to draw the line from needless regulations that occupy marine patrol resources to those laws the need to be enforced.

Lets break it down very simply:

Would you rather have a MP officer patrolling rafting areas to ensure that each boat is anchored a minimum of 50 feet apart or have them on Patrol in areas where the most infractions occur of the safe passage law?

What is unfortunate is we have many laws that are not safety related (as you have pointed out in your post) that the Marine Patrol must enforce. With the budget being cut and resources being depleated it is important that the laws that are "safety" related are given the man power to make a difference and protect our lakes.
