I've watched plenty of these clips, and I used to think refusal was the safest option too. But after my own stop and a consultation with Wruble Law, I learned that the reality is more nuanced.

Even a completely sober person can look unsteady on a boat, and officers can and do proceed anyway. My attorney explained how to document the conditions, what statements to avoid making, and what happens procedurally if the officer decides to arrest regardless of performance.

That was the first time I understood how much of this hinges on the written narrative, not the video

I lived in Jupiter for a long time, still have a house there, there are about a half a dozen or so law enforcement entities patrolling that area, the FWC are far and away the biggest pricks on the water

1. Breathalyzers are cheap...Law Enforcement should buy them for their boats.

2. Hauling someone to jail without a clear, articulable reason of having committed a crime, about to commit a crime or planning to commit a crime is unconstitutional and goes against the 5th amendment.

But hey, you don't mind spending your tax dollars for the probable rights violations, right?
