Just had my firt encounter with the Marine Police on Lake Martin. Wish I could say it was a pleasant experience but it was not. I was headed North toward Wind Creek and spotted the Marine Police boat headed in my direction, he turned and started directly toward me so about three to four hundred yards before we meet, I stopped and began the process of getting my drivers license and boat registration ready for review. He pulls up to my boat, circles once and stops. Of course he asked for my license and registration and I handed it to him. He then tells me that he is going to write a warning because "You were going to turn in front of me". I stated that I was not going to turn in front of you in fact I was stopped when you approached because it was apparent to me that you were headed my way and going to stop me. ( I was stopped when he turned on his blue lights) Long story short.. I was given a written warning for what I was "going" to do NOT what I did. This is a true case of harrassment and I hope a very isolated incident. I've never had anything but good to say about the job our Marine Police do however this youg man is a disgrace to his profession. Shame on him for not telling the truth!!
