I went to Standley lake in Arvada for literally 5 minutes to see how my shoulder felt before I jumped back on the water and got a ticket/summons for court and I am sure a fine. I had boat and paddle confiscated for 3 weeks and now I have to go to court on the 21st. Anyone know anything about how to deal with this? The charges are because I got in the water with the boat without washing it - I live in Arvada and entered in on the Arvada side and there is no one on that side that monitors anything and its a kayak. I guess I am screwed but maybe someone might know of some defense other than being stupid to the rules. A kayak in my mind is not a "boat" and it has never been near whatever they are saying it "might" have.
I just don't understand how my not washing it and them then not even looking at it is acceptable. Don't they have to inspect boats after they are "washed" - why couldn't they look at the boat and the paddle and see it was fine? It can't be that hard to find whatever they are looking for.
