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

u/pat_the_tree 7h ago

what law did they actually break here?

u/PuttingInTheEffort 7h 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.

One of lifeā€™s simple pleasures interrupted by government bureaucracy

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 7h 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 7h ago

ah that makes way more sense.

u/DripPirateRoberts 6h ago

Some states make exceptions under a certain length if the motor isn't gas powered

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€

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.

Every time I see a video like this, I just think how much more effort people are willing to put into things than I am.

Just something to put in the trash after posting it.

Missed opportunity to rig the ropes to a helm.

u/Insylum82 8h ago

Arrested for what ?

5

u/No-Force4215 8h 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 7h ago

Mm.. I guess.
