But guys, 2:30am off the end of National Airport at National Park Service land that is posted to close at 10pm? Haven't they been looking the other way for the four years of increasing wade activity coming from this group? Clearly it was the hour that forced the flare up.
Of course it revealed a wading law we now all have a chance to change. But when it does, they'll still give people tickets at 230am.
Just sayin.

This whole thing is bad. There is also the letter of the law and the "Spirit" of the law. Clearly the "Spirit" of the law would exclude people engaged in recreational fishing. The Officer should have used some good old fashioned discretion and warned the poor guy who got the ticket.
This kind of reminds me of the mess going on in the Jackson River. http://www.potomacriverkeeper.org/updates/public-use-virginia%E2%80%99s-public-waterways-threatened
Public outcry could be the one thing that fixes this. It is something that needs to be looked into because those federal lands are for the public's use. We own this land as it is federal public land.
