I have no idea how the USCG can board a ship without probable cause. Is that why they call it a safety inspection?I have been on a boat fishing off the cape and we were boarded by the USCG for safety inspection not once did the ask about firearms. We also didn’t mention anything about having firearms either

not with the coast guard on a boat. They can come aboard and pretty much do what they wantInteresting...do u have any 4th amendment rights if u get boarded???
Because "safety".I have no idea how the USCG can board a ship without probable cause. Is that why they call it a safety inspection?
So where in the US constitution is this power enumerated?? I am not picking fights, but truly would like to know the origins of these police powers.You can get a degree in it. Maritime Law.

Congress may implement the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction conferred upon the federal courts by revising and amending the maritime law that existed at the time the Constitution was adopted, but in so doing, it cannot go beyond the reach of that jurisdiction.1889 This power cannot be delegated to the states; hence, acts of Congress that purported to make state workers’ compensation laws applicable to maritime cases were held unconstitutional.1890
So, why?not with the coast guard on a boat. They can come aboard and pretty much do what they want

Courts let them, by creating exceptions. Just like Terry v. Ohio created an exception to 4A allowing warrantless searches, the Coasties have their own history. It goes back to being revenue collectors, ignoring their modern iteration as domestic police.
I don't agree with it but here's your answer.So, why?
I don't agree with it but here's your answer.
Title 14 USC § 89 states in part: “(a) The Coast Guard may make inquiries, examinations, inspections, searches, seizures, and arrests upon the high seas and waters over which the United States has jurisdiction, for the prevention, detection, and suppression of violations of laws of the United States. For such purposes, commissioned, warrant, and petty officers may at any time go on board of any vessel subject to the jurisdiction, or to the operation of any law, of the United States, address inquiries to those on board, examine the ship’s documents and papers, and examine, inspect, and search the vessel and use all necessary force to compel compliance...”

Perfect conditions for the white fleet....Now ask yourself: What are "waters over which the United States has jurisdiction"?
All of them. That damp spot in your back yard, if rain ever flows downhill and into any tributary leading to navigable waters, is part of Waters Of The United States.

My yard is in the Connecticut River watershed, so I do take some satisfaction than every time I exercise my male privilege out the back door, I'm pissing on Long Island.

Sounds to me more like "know your target's behind", Jack.If you have to shoot, be careful where the shot hits. One time son in AK had beached his boat and got ready to hit the sack in the cabin for the nite when he heard a scuffle on the deck. He grabbed his .338 and went to take a look. A very small black bear had come on board and was eating out of the bait bucket. The bear was in line with his 150hp Yamaha. He told the bear to get lost, but no luck. So he kicked it in the ass and it jumped off the boat. Know what's behind your target.

Be a shame if you'd been trailing a couple hundred yards of kevlar...I remember years ago my dad and I were striper fishing and the CG came over to do a "safety check". Well in the process of steaming over to our boat, they ran over both of our fishing lines that we had out (we were drift fishing). Needless to say we lost a bunch of line and the hooks/bait. My dad was furious but bit his tongue.
Well, the seagulls were doing the same exact thing, only vice versa.A guy I use to work with,told me a story that when he
was young they use to go out fishing,and lay down on
the deck of the boat,and shoot up at the seagulls.
I'll let them come aboard,not with the coast guard on a boat. They can come aboard and pretty much do what they want
