What random law did the guy break by driving his remote control boat at a boat launch?

Buy A Boat Launch Sticker
A boat launch sticker can be purchased from Town Hall or Route 22 gas station for $20.00 and should be displayed on the driver’s side tongue of the trailer.


Seems like the cop maybe was right and the rc guy was being the smart arse.

I thought it was kind of funny when he told the guy he needed a permit to launch his toy boat


Seems like the cop was mostly just goofing with him about the permit deal and just wanted the guy not to be running the little boat all around the launch area, until the guy wanted to be a douche about the whole thing.

Dumb to say anything about the douche filming, but it is what it is.

So if he just didn’t use the rc car to launch he would have been good?



What the frick is wrong with you people?


The cop literally said he would be fine if he was away from the launch doing it.

The rc guy is the a-hole in this situation and even admits the cop was just doing his job.

And cops wonder why they’ve lost the general public’s trust. Modern cops could take a lesson from Dalton in Road House. “ I want you to Be Nice”. It’s that fricking simple….

Instead… you’ve got a cocksucker flexing his desired authority for no reason



Nah you guys are being emotional bitches over this.

I'm on the cop's side. Keep that stupid bullshite away from the boat launch.




First of all, that is a pretty cool setup he had. There was no traffic and if you have to buy a permit to for a RC boat then frick the state.

If he was truly not supposed to be there and needed a permit, there is a much better way for that lazy arse cop to handle it. He could have gotten out, approached them shaking their hand and asking about the boat and then say "Look, I just want to let yall know that the law is ________________. I am not going to give yall a ticket or anything because yall were probably not aware of the law" then tell them where they are able to put the RC boat in the water.

That cop was your typical small city cop who doesn't want to have to do too much work so he looks for these opportunities where he doesn't even have to get out of his vehicle. frick him.

Be a good boy and do whatever law enforcement tells you no matter what. Is that what you are saying?

Is his RC toy a boat?

Boat means anything manufactured, designed, marketed or used as a craft for water flotation, capable of carrying one or more persons

If he put the RC toy in the water without using his tiny trailer does he still need a sticker?

If you believe that then the kid needed a boat registration, life jackets and a fire extinguisher as well.

Kid made this so much worse with his attitude and comment. Cop was trying to get his toy out the way of real boats and even told him he can go a few feet over.

I think most agree running an RC boat at the boat launch was dumb.

The threat from the cop over the youTube video is even dumber. Is that really a thing?

He's lucky the cop didn't put a tiny boot on the toy truck and tow the boat. Bahahahahaha

There are laws about motorboats and launching them. There are no laws about driving a toy boat around the lake. The fat arse cop was doing what fat arse cops do, avoiding real police work and then fricking with lawful citizens to get his rocks off. 99% of cops are loser assholes like this one.

You cant call the RC a "toy" and then in the same breath say your going to write him a ticket for not registering his boat trailer...

Cop is an idiot on a power trip, kids should have just said ok I'll move down the bank.

I live in Madisonville and the cop is a fricking count. His job and only job is to patrol the levee on the river write tickets if someone is speeding by the middle school/ piggy wiggly and patrol the road to the boat launch. They are glorified school crossing guards if any crime takes place the St. Tammany cops are sent.
He made my daughter call me to go pick her up from the boat launch on a summer night 10pm, because she was a minor, she was 17 years old hanging out w/ 3 other girls 2 of which were 18
No drugs or drinking no issues, this from his mouth. They were the only kids around he let the 18 year olds leave and made the parents to come pick up the to "minors". The cop gave a holyer then thou speech. I asked my daughter and the other girl to go wait in the truck and turn up the radio. Then I talked down to him like the count he is. He followed me to my truck and walked around looking anything. I went to the police station the next day and complained about him but to no avail. They are all intertwined in marriage and relation with the mayor and council.
So frick him he is usless.
