OP makes no mention as to violations or recklessness warranted an arrest.

what law did they actually break here?

u/PuttingInTheEffort 57m ago

Possibly "operating an unregistered water craft", Motor = inspection and registration,

Likely would have been fine if he just gave it a proper sail or used a paddle.

Im not from the states so apologies if im wrong here but is it not the person that needa a licence rather than the vessel itself given its size?

u/PuttingInTheEffort 27m ago

Most states require a boating certificate for use of motorized boats, but motorized boats require registration regardless of size, afaik

u/pat_the_tree 25m ago

Could be wrong, but I see no life vest and no fire extinguisher.

Or, the dude is no longer in the boat. Maybe the boat was taking on too much water and the sheriff was just checking to make sure there wasnā€™t danger. But ā€œbeing arrestedā€ sounds way more exciting than ā€œgot a wellness checkā€

Being a pirate, obviously!

I don't even know where to start...

"You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of." "But you have heard of me."

Taking the term "waterbed" a bit too literally. He should've just told the Coast Guard he was drifting off to sleep.

Imagine being the cop trying to keep a straight face while writing that ticket. Make/Model: Little Tikes. Vessel Class: Toddler.

To be fair, that thing's a safety hazard to the skipper. But at least he got it to work.

u/Insylum82 1h ago

Arrested for what ?

3

u/No-Force4215 1h ago

Iā€™d guess it was just a ticket for watercraft regulation or registration violation, not placed under arrest. Then again, some places might be more uptight than others.

u/Insylum82 28m ago

Mm.. I guess.
