Lack of knowledge of the written English language really shows your ignorance. Sorry.
Now, move on and have a nice day.

Everyone here is passionate about boating, having fun and their HOME. So when you come on here throwin elbows about a state you don't like, you have to expect some flack from some of their residents..
You came on looking to stir up a hornets nest about oklahoma, and you got just that.. Now move on.. Go start a fight about somethin else, this one played out.

Your like a kid in a debate that doesn't have any evidence and does back flips on issues. Goes from one idea to the other trying to find something of substance. Your all over the board and need to go back to school and get a harder shell, dont take other opinions or facts to heart. Calm down little guy its just the internet and forum. For all I know you live in a cardboard box and for all you know I don't even have a boat and live in China. SHHHHH it will be alright.
This has been fun but I grow bored and feel the more time I spend interacting with you, the dumber I get. I sure don't want to end up on your level....

If the law gives authority to board boats not underway and give DUI it is garbage. First off, its all about money, just like all the other crap they are passing these days. Second, it infringes on freedoms as stated above. If someone on an achored boat is drunk and causing a problem, D&D would cover it. Like I stated above, its all about $ and giving an excuse to mess with people. Instead of some $100 D&D's, now they have the power to give a whole boatload of people DUI's at a couple grand a pop. The moment you get underway, it falls to the operator, if you are drunk then you face the consequences.
This big brother stuff makes me sick. I am all for personal freedoms, and the personal responsibility that goes with it. We need to guard our freedoms on every front. Giving more power to someone over you isnt the answer. I have good friends who are cops etc, and they are human like anyone else. They have bad days, take dislike to other people for personal or whatever reason, its human nature. You have to have proof positive of a crime and prove it, officer discretion is not the answer.

If that law was here in GA my marina would be deserted. We eat and drink til the wee hours and sleep it off while tied to the dock. I would be pissed if a cop barged into my houseboat while I'm watching TV in bed and I got a BUI.

There has been talk in this thread about getting a DUI when you are docked/anchored, but the operator is drunk, this is a very fact sensitive area of DUI law, whcih I will not address in this thread because I do not have even time to type the proper message, but as always, if you get charged with DUI or any criminal offense hire an experienced attorney.
Back to the orginal point, some states are less severe than others. If you get arrested in New Jersey call me, if I cannot help you, I will direct you to someone who can.

The Judge found him guilty of DUI. I have not had a boat DUI case where the defendant was charged while the boat was not running. I would love a case like that, I would win as long as the defendant does not make any admissions.
