These guys harrass everyone they can out there with their vessel inspections, fishing equipment checks, running around wasting gas. The tribal pots can sit out there for weeks unattended, but you have a minor label violation on a sport pot and they confiscate the pot. Asking where the crab went is a good question. If they wanted to do this properly they would check people when they are pulling their pots and issue a citation - if it is warranted. By confiscating the pots when nobody is around, who's going to notice if the crab slip into a cooler?

WDFW should never have granted them jurisdiction over fish and game violations. Vessel inspections should be done by the coast guard. Tacoma police should be on the streets and inside the city limits doing their job. Total waste of money in the name of homeland security. What a joke.
