IAwww c'mon, hold your judgement.
He could be legally blind and in need of a new script.

Talk about, in your face.

This is the right way to go about living your life! How tormented people must be to have to constantly look around to see if they're being watched because they're constantly at least bending the rules. I'm good with any enforcement personnel checking my license or otherwise performing their duties. I keep a measuring tape in my box and a size/numbers limits reminder taped to the top of my tackle box. I know the difference between a big spanish and a juvy king and I'm happy to show a conservation officer my legal catch. I'm in no way even tempted into non-compliance.

Enforcement is welcome by me! If the enforcement officers are doing their job, they should not be picking up trash. Do you see cops on the side of the road picking up liter? Of course not. How foolish. Bring it on...

Im always happy to see fish and game enforcement out doing their job, whether im on the pier, out in the woods, or on some quiet backwater lake, its needed with so many who dont give a damn and take whatever they feel like, i want my kids and grandkids to be able to enjoy the same fishing and hunting experiances i have and having officers out enforcing the rules is the only way that will happen, have great respect for the job they do and wish there were more of them

Having been an avid golfer for over 4 decades, I put a lot of weight behind the honor system. Yet, I understand the purpose of law enforcement. Gspp is open to the public. No individual is more deserving or important than any other. Some choose to ignore rules but the vast majority comply for the sake of fairness and good citizenship. I would like to think that everyone understand the need to avoid being so nosy that they lose sight of the purpose of the pier. Having fun. Law enforcement is paid to enforce. Citizens have a duty to support its purpose but not at the expense of frightening pier goers by ratting on one another without just cause or over zealousness.

I have said before that when I retire I'm moving up north and driving real slow in the left lane with my foot barely touching the brake pedal and my right turn signal on.
