agreed... Poachers? Taking dozens of illegal fish?-throw the book at them.. No problem here.
Yet catch say a fat 17 and 3/4 inch fluke, deeply hooked, and bleeding profusely and decide you don't want to waste it, and you are lumped in with the creeps that catch 30 undersized stripers and keep them all.. I dunno, somehow it doesn't add up.
NJ has a LOT of problems, and yes poachers abound,I realize that.. However, surveillance of the law abiding innocent majority to keep "order" is the playbook of despotic, totalitarian governments, and has NO place in the USA, yet it is becoming commonplace, and sadly,desired and applauded...
Brave new world has been here for a while, and has been embraced.
I am now an older man, actually what many would call an old man I guess, and cannot understand the modern mindset of security/stability at the cost of personal freedom/ individual rights , but many today are willing to make that trade. We wanted this, and we got it... enjoy...
