I've run into 1 RI EPO twice this year. Once at the Colt State Park Boat ramp, and the other time on Brenton Point. Needless to say if his territory is at least between those two points it takes him a while to go from one area to another.
He's a fisherman and the first thing he asked when he searched the boat at CSP was whether we kept anything before giving the boat an extraordinarily thorough inspection. After deciding we weren't exactly someone to be concerned about we talked to him for a quite a while; he's a good guy just trying to do his job and going fishing on his days off.
When I came across him at Brenton around midnight he asked the same question first before recognzing me and the Ironman.
I'm not saying all EPO's are on the ball and asking the right questions, but there is at least one and he's got a lot of ground to cover. Also checking for shorts definitely isn't the only job they are tasked with as evidenced by boat safety inspections.
