OPP/MNR

Post by **Hoser** » Fri Aug 06, 2004 10:49 pm

I've been stopped 3 times by the OPP and once by MNR on the water so far this year. OPP was checking for the safety stuff and didn't give a rats %ss about license or fish on board. MNR checked for license and fish on board, didn't give a rats %ss about safety stuff. I realize it's different on land but one would think McGuinty could save the provincial tax payers a bunch of money by having one regulatory body checking both at once on the water rather than paying for two. OK...I've vented and feel better now

Mostly on smaller lakes if the O.P.P checks you,they will check for safety,alcohol,papers and( sometimes) fishing licence+your catch.
but if the M.N.R checks you they are only concerned about licence,catch/possesion.
all the same I am just happy to see either on the water,(keeps the Idiots/pochers in check)

Sometimes, not often the OPP and the MNR will jump into one boat and check all these topics!

Don't get me wrong...I don't have a problem with them being out there. They are polite and friendly, not giving me a hard time at all. I just thought it was a bit redundant being stopped by 2 different officers and was McGuinty bashing.

big-o: maybe they want to see if crazycrawler has her bikini on again
