During the last week of Lobster season March, 2006,
a number of people were written tickets for undersized Lobsters.
I remember talking to a couple PBâ??ers that received tickets and they were pissed.
Each of them had measured the Lobsters in question with their measuring
devices and the Lobsters were legal. When the DFG measured the Lobsters
using their measuring device the Lobsters were not legal.
Tickets were written, some said theyâ??d fight it some said they wouldnâ??t.
Well guess what happened yesterday.
One of the guys goes to court (Iâ??m not giving out his name) to fight his ticket.
He brings his measuring device to court, and the DFG guy brings his measuring device to court.
Mind you the DFG guy says, â??Iâ??ve been using this measuring device for years nowâ??.
The judge asks both a few questions checking to see if they both know the rules and regulations.
Both have their answers in line with the rules and regulations.
Then the judge decides to check the 2 measuring devices for accuracy.
The judge says, â??This measuring device is right on!â??
He had just measured the PBâ??ers measuring device.
Then the judge checks the DFG measuring device, â??uhhohh we have a problem hereâ??.
As it turns out the DFG measuring device was almost ¼-inch too long.
The judge immediately threw the case out of court. YEAH!
Then the judge unloaded on the DFG Warden for writing undersized
Lobster tickets for â??Xâ?? amount of time, using a bogus measuring
device, and creating grief and problems for each person that had
been written a ticket and had to go to court to deal with it.
The system can work from time to time, hereâ??s proof.
I canâ??t wait to see this PBâ??er and congratulate him!
