My bitch isn't that he cited me, it's that I DIDN'T legally need to display them, it was noon on a day with miles of visibility. I think he could have made his point with a warning, if legally I needed to have them on the boat. The laws are in place for one reason SAFETY and my point to him which he ignored is that, for SAFETY reasons I never winter fish when I will legally need to display nav lights. That was my explaination as to why I don't clutter a storage craved boat with %$%$%$%$ I'll never use.
Laws serve a very important purpose, but the smarter officers be it EP, State or town; look at the circumstances and act accordingly. This guy I swear was just bored and looking to fill his day or get started on his yearly citation quota.
