Doug,

If you lock up your car and tell them to get a warrant, you will be able to pick your car up a few days later at the impound yard. They have the right to search your vehicle, boat, etc. Be very careful how you handle that.

I do have a question though. I didn't realize DOW officers had the right to safety check you boat. I thought that was only for true cops and the Coast Guard. Anyone know for sure on this?
