Michigan DNR cops write 5 tickets to boaters and issue 323 warnings over weekend

Michigan is an insane asylum.

From the Detroit News:

Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officers issued five citations over the weekend to boaters in violation of the governor's stay-home order, but none of them involved the use of a motorized boat, according to the department.

DNR officers gave 323 verbal warnings to boaters for violations of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive order, ranging from social distancing, operating a motorized boat or boating with people from outside an individual’s household, said department spokesman Ed Golder.

Of the five citations issued, three were issued for boating with people from more than one household and two for “failing to observe social distancing requirements.” All of the citations were issued in Region Two, which includes the bottom half of the lower peninsula.

In total, conservation officers gave a verbal warning or citation related to the executive order to 1 in 5 boaters they had contact with over the weekend.

That governor is Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, who has gone as far as banning the purchase of seed packets in stores that are otherwise open.
