What a crock of shit. FOPA applies and NYC does not have the authority to enforce MA state law...

Right.............because even when you're on the river, all you have to do is call 911 and wait.

How common is it for the authorities to 'shake down random vessels with families on them?

fuck any cop enforcing "NY SAFE" gun laws...and fuck the coast guard too. I support law enforcement, I don't support wanna-be gestapo style agents of tyranny.

A "safety inspection"? If the boat owner shows that they have the required safety equipment, they should not be searching the boat without a fucking warrant. But even "safety checks" are unconstitutional, IMO. No probable cause, get the fuck off my boat.

There is a thread about a guy being boarded and "safety inspection" searched by the CG off Florida on THT. The comments are mostly opposite about what we are posting.

Even IF the boat is your home, and you're at a dock. The CG doesn't need a warrant, or reasonable suspicion. They can board and search you for no reason at all, and do it all the time. Hell, they openingly go fishing trying to find something. Traveling with firearms is problematic. If you admit you have them you're in trouble. If you don't admit you have them, and they find them, you are in HUGE trouble. They'll board you, and take lab samples from your hands and skins for analysis, forcing you to wait for the results, to see if you've handled any illegal drugs. People don't understand the power the CG has. |

Do you have any guns on board? "Yes" Should have named it "I do not comply" |

I guess FOPA doesn't apply to NY. The CG has absolute (unconstitutional) authority to board and search vessels without needing probable cause. They can enforce federal laws and call in the locals to enforce local law. I'm not sure why this guy didn't just go around Long Island he could have avoided the east river and NYC. But I'm glad they arrested this obviously violent criminal, now the water ways will remain safe. View Quote He probably wanted to dock at NYC, that is what yachts do.
