Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Illegal to wade Gravelly Point

Even if the fine is tossed (which would be excellent), he'll pay whatever court fees are around here (?).  So......I'll do my best to solicit at the next tie.  Usually I'm not so much the collection guy, but more the guy who chips in and then goes and hides in the background.  

Remember folks -- whether you agree with every detail or not.  It could have been you!

Dalton,

 

It would be highly unlikely for the Judge to bring forth an new complaint.  Ideally, Remick gets off without having to pay the fine and then we can work forward to clear up the ambiguity while striving to promote water safety.

I think Victor's lawyering is exactly what is needed in the short term to help clarify this wading issue. Obviously in the longer term, we should advocate for less ambiguity in the statutes, increased safe wading access and better education of the NPS police officers.

On the trespassing issue, I do not believe that Remick was actually trespassing in the park at the moment the officer approached him if he was below the high water mark, which is probably why he didn't receive a ticket for this. The judge certainly cannot bring an additional charge of trespassing while Remick is in court.
