Charles Schumer is calling on the U.S. Coast Guard to coordinate enforcement activities among various police agencies that patrol the Hudson River after an outcry from boaters that they're being stopped too often for inspections by different agencies.

GREAT IDEA:
One option Schumer recommended is for every agency to honor an annual Coast Guard inspection sticker that boat owners can get each year after undergoing a voluntary safety inspection. If a boat is being operated in a lawful manner and has a valid inspection sticker, there would be no reason for a marine patrol to stop it, Schumer said. The inspections and stickers are free.
 
Chris,

There is NO REASON for them to stop a boat that is behaving normally, legally and responsibly.

This is rediculous that it takes extreme measures to prevent the stops. There should be no sticker, placard or any other display required.

It's discrimination against boaters. There is far more danger from traffic on the N.Y.S. Thruwway than there is from the Hudson River traffic. It's a cheap shot scam that is a grievous invasion of our rights as Americans.
