Wicklundrh I am studying the laws for safe boating in Texas and there are some gray areas pertaining to non motorized craft. Part of the problem we have here is way to much area for so few officers to cover. This area is primarily hunting so there seems to be more of a presence during that time of year. Not saying they are not out doing their job just don’t see them as much. If I hadn’t stowed my phone in the bow storage I would have videos
I completely understand that. Sometimes there is just so much area and so few officers to cover it. I'm not really sure of the lake or the type and amount of watercraft that frequents it at any one time but, if popularity increases in a particular lake or area, local municipalities can make a decision to hire a full or part time officer to cover that area! Heck, you might have just found a new job....

Personally, I think it sucks that, anymore we have to video tape everything in order to cover ourselves or proove something but that is where this world seems to be heading. Everyone with cameras in their vehicles (they are in all of ours at work), body cameras, and phones. In today's society, we can't even have a civil conversation with someone regarding something as they percieve it as a threat.

I hit the yak waters just the other day for the first time in years. I was thankful I was on a body of water that you cannot get a boat in to!
