This year in particular there has been a major uptick in boating related deaths so the OPP are really pushing for safety.
That being said.
I still think that is a very rough deal, the want you to fight it for the overtime.
Funny story, I was out at OFC event for the pike tourney. OPP came to check my boat in the little sea-doo we had 4 people on my boat. OPP does the life jacket check and tells me I need 5 life jackets and starts writing the ticket. My family is completely confused and I start explaining we only need 4 life jackets as he continues to write the ticket looking down.
Finally he looks up in disgust and explains 5 people needs 5 life jackets. In a heart beat he realised he only see's 4 people starring down at him and was counting the front casting seat thinking someone was sitting there.
My cousin in very quick wit said to the OPP officer sir have you been drinking. Ahhh good times
