There are bad apples in every group. Those 17 officers who were caught, will never be officers again. Those watermen who are caught, are back on the water the next day.
I know there are some officers who are also just looking at suspensions, but I don't know their involvement.
I appreciate your opposing views on topics, but you have to make good analogies.

When a person tells me "You reap what you sew" He is accusing me of being a poacher. He doesn't like being called a crook, neither do I.
Most waterman who are caught with a fisheries violation, has committed a misdemeanor not a felony.
I believe the laws have been changed this year to address the serious problems.
Like I said. The net industry is worth, very very conservatively $100 million to Maryland and probably 5000 jobs.
Trying to shut an industry down and putting people out of work for 2 poachers is a joke.
