    Great work Rocks! Notocedyou have one of the older (better ) DE surf tags on the rack. Heard they are a major No-No now," improper display of permit." Not wanting to Poop on any bodies Pop Tart, may save a ticket from an overly agressive park cop.

    So far no problems its been on there for about several years now and they have checked me several times with nothing being said, but I'm sure I'll get that one that does sooner or later.

    The only reason I mentioned that wasI saw it happen last Sept.
    Late at nite, only a few of us on the sand, patrol passes me goes to the next guy, stops,started talking to him, next thing I know is the other fellow starts packing up. Guy stops near me and asks if I have any use for his bait, says he was kicked off the beach for "improper display of permit". Must have been a bad nite for the officer,good nite for mecaught 3 shorts on the other guys bait.

    So the guys down there don't have anything better to do with their time? I could see if you didn't have the permits, but "improper display?"

    Took some video today of RnR sand spike being used. I like it, it's sturdy easy to carry, and holds it's place.

    DS, it must be the DE government wanting to justify the prison system. several years ago they stopped using the , when I went to renew my tag I was told that the new white plates were the only ones they would recognize. Not thinking I let my last surf vehicle picture plate go when the truck was totaled. As an aside the older numbered plates were a good way to get out of parking tickets in NYC, Often wonder if those people with 4 digit plates ever had any problems with thier registration? Seems the lazy parking officers kept using my surf tag on the front instead of the real plate on the rear. Back on point' improper display of permit" means the stickernot being on the white plates. Paperwork in order, no good must be white plate only.Anything to keep our convicted felons occupied, must be some kind of rehab.

    ibd, i read your concerns here, sorry I missed it when you first posted.

    I can tell you from experience here in NJ, NY, Conn and some of the other states along the stripercoast, that we have way too many regs compared to what you guys have in De. The experience you had in Delaware sounds to me like a case of some guy who let his power go to his head.

    We recently had some officers in Long Branch, NJ, stop Bob Dylan walking around and gave him major hassles when there was a question about his ID. This is what you get when a lot of enforcement personnel are under 25.

    I just came back from the midwest, we drove 1000 miles and the only place we saw speed traps was in NJ, PA, and Indiana. Otherwise most police have better things to do than hassle citizens for petty offenses.

    The experience you describe sounds like the pettiest offense, very minor. A seasoned officer should have realized that, and let you go on your way with a verbal warning.

    That's how you build good relations between the police and the public, IMO. Maybe the guy who hassled you didn't read that in the manual.
