These articles and many of the posts on this forum point out the fact that this is a typical piece of legislation which does not really address or solve a problem (perceived or otherwise), and will (if held to be constitutional) most likely create an enforcement nightmare. Whether it's boating laws, tax code, social sevices, education, etc., convoluted government involvement usually produces poor results.

The article said that the law suite was brought by "Lake Martin boat owners and a Jasper boat dealer ". Will someone please define "Lake Martin Boat owners" for me.

there wasn't a petition. How about thousands of plantiff's? Think that might have made a differing impact?

So you're saying that fulltimer (if he is indeed a Lake Martin boat owner) was one of those that brought the lawsuit? Judging from his post, that's news to him! :-)

Do you have to live on the lake....... own property on the lake.... or just use the lake to be a Lake Martin boat owner? I know some people from Calf who use the lake.

Last I recall, this is public use property. That makes everyone a potential Lake Martin Boat owner. Maybe we could have gone nation-wide for the petetion...

The National Park Service banned PWCs from their property without a legislative vote and it worked. What in the world makes anyone think the Alabama law is un-constitutional based on civil rights issues.
|
I am sure the National Park Service had scientific reasoning (not just financial funding from developers) behind their reasoning. Such as noise polution disturbing wildlife on reserves, or even actual accident statistics. Whereas this law has only opinionated poorly manifested excuses. Someone could easily sell me on this if they provided proof to me that there was either ecological damage or safety issues which were 100% the result of the size or speed of the boat (taking away the human factor). As of right now every excuse I hear for this bill all comes down to the driver of the vessle. It seems to me that those who support the bill have something against the poeple who own large/fast boats and will not admit that these boats are just as safe as any other when operated propery (and within any legal limits)
