on the topic of poaching and enforcement,

I realize that they are short staffed with officers, but I have seen them in very common poaching areas, while its happening, and doing nothing. If an officer working in RI doesn't know WHERE poaching often occurs, and how to spot the signs of it, then what good are they?
I have said this before... If I had a badge and a ticket book, you give me one day per week and I will write up so many LEGIT violations you could balance the state budget by the end of the summer. I have given up calling in violations, because the response time is counted in hours (if at all). They should hire a single designated "poaching/regulation violation" officer...I mean a real pit bull that hands out real violations, and word will spread fast. Lets be honest, we all know what parts of the highway you definitely cant speed on...tell me why that is?
