For all you yahoos out there, the only reason they need to pull you over is if you're towing a boat. Just another loss of privacy and of probable cause.

WDFW starts mandatory boat checks to stop aquatic invasive species

OLYMPIA - Starting Memorial Day weekend, boaters heading to Washington waterways may encounter new mandatory stops by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to check for aquatic invasive species.
The long-planned emphasis patrol, which will take place throughout the summer, coincides with the recent seizure of a boat in Spokane contaminated with quagga mussels from Nevada’s Lake Mead.
"That’s a big concern, because if they get into our waters, they will likely spread rapidly and cause much damage."

"To avoid more close calls like this, our enforcement emphasis this year will be to conduct random, mandatory road stops of people hauling any size boat," Anderson said.
Since Washington passed a law in 2002 prohibiting importation of aquatic invasive species, WDFW, in cooperation with the Washington State Patrol, blah blah blah...
Once established, non-native mussels and other aquatic invasive species can multiply quickly and threaten native fish and wildlife by consuming available food blah blah blah blah....

note to self....dont drive my boat with weed in it this weekend......

Just tell them to put their verbal judo back into their front pocket, where it belongs and see what happens.

dope floats.

must be why im so buoyant

I'm gonna hang some plastic weeds off my trailer, throw some sea shells in the bilge and tow my boat around just to see what kinda trouble I can stir up...

WDFW cant afford to do creel checks but they can spend money on random boat searches... makes sense to me

When i worked for the game Dept., I was told by a WSP patrolman that 90% of the trailers on the rode can be stopped for various reasons because they don't comply with the law. Another much to do about nothing.

that in itself is ridiculous.....too many damn laws
