It's not much of a moral dilemma. It's either you or the gulls who gets them. Sure the DEM could bust you. If someone calls them, tells them the make and model of your car, where you are parking, and what you are in violation of. If you are still there an hour later when they show, they'll have you cold and it will be front page news.
I don't know why they don't go to Hazard Ave on bluebird weekend days when there's a hurricane swell on and check licenses or otherwise discourage people to fish for their own good. I guess failing to protect is not much of a moral dilemma either.
