I am curious if he was in uniform, a hired detail, or just someone with a badge who can't mind his business. Every weekend in Bourne, just over the bridge, if you drive through Gray Gables out to the island there is a detail officer keeping anyone from driving into the area. I don't think the area is private if town water is out there, the roads are plowed in the winter by the town and so forth. Nobody questions it so it goes on unchecked. On the rocks is another story altogether. It sucks either way. Wouldn't happen where I work.

Said he was hired by landowners, had badge which he showed me closely , and a PD t-shirt.

I'll bet that wasn't a detail. I'd also bet it isn't legal using his authority if it isn't a detail out of the dept.

If the land owner/'s do indeed own the land the rocks are sitting on, they can and do have the right to keep you off...in these times one person only needs to slip and crack their head on someones property , then inturns sues the owner..around here it's common to be kicked off the rocks in front of any home because they own the land and paid for the rock retaining wall.

you'd have to do a title search to find out about the area your treading on to see if it's public or private .Here in ma. you do have the right to fish,fowl or navagate on private water front, but only to get to the other side and not plant your feet on said property.

Chef, send me the details when you get a minute. I know PN has been guarded for while now (I'm hoping they give up post Labor Day as they often do) but if the police detail has been expanded I need to know where.
