Comments on: FWC Law Enforcement Report http://www.northescambia.com/2014/05/fwc-law-enforcement-report-10 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:29:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jeeperman http://www.northescambia.com/2014/05/fwc-law-enforcement-report-10/comment-page-1#comment-267642 jeeperman Mon, 19 May 2014 01:09:22 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=178819#comment-267642 "surveillance videos obtained through several different sources." It would be interesting to know what these "video sources" are exactly. Video game cameras focused on a known spot of illegal activity? Cell phone videos of observers or what? And yes, as my moniker indicates, I was once "a jeeper". But that was 30 years ago and so after numerous jeepin area closings because of irresponsible numbskulls as described in the article, I grew up and out of that activity. Plus as you age, your kidneys no longer tolerate the rough ride anymore. “surveillance videos obtained through several different sources.”

All you do is send them your money in the mail and they send you a permit.( Its all about the money) Yes it has the do and don't in it. Have you ever read all of your hunting or fishing permit cover to cover so you know all the laws? Ever bent them just a little? I can assure you no jeeper will destroy lands on perpose as this would jeperdize us being able to ride. Some made a mistake and the paid a $55 ticket for it now they know better and its been put out to all the clubs to be sure where you ride is permitted, but the clubs don't control everyone but do our best to make sure our memebers are on the up and up. >>> Bob

That’s pretty much it. FWC issues a weekly report, emails it to us (and other media) we’ve been running it for a few weeks on Saturdays. Just copy and paste. There have been some positive comments for recognizing they work they do, and also the public education value (oops, I didn’t know their was a daily harvest limit on certain kinds of fish).

I know for a fact that everything they do is not listed. I can't tell you what factors determine if they write about it or not. It appears that North Escambia just copies that report and puts it on their website. FWC does not specifically report stuff like this to the media. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, while there might not be any signs posted saying you can't ride there it is in the information pamphlets that FWC prints out for every state forest in the state. No driving on roads that are not numbered. No destruction of state land. As for Eglin you have to have at minimum a general use permit to even be on the reservation. In order to get that you have to go to Jackson Guard and watch a video about the rules of the reservation and they give you a map with your permit that has all the rules and regulations as well. No driving off named roads, no destruction of land etc etc..

They are only going to report arrests and citations, not every encounter they have with people. The Sheriff and police depts. Don't report every warning they give to people to the media. And as far as the guys taking there little jeeps and tearing up the state parks, they need more than a citation. They should take their vehicles from them for a while, and make them pay to fix the damage they've done. Redfish,, it sounds like two separate cases to me.

When you read the story it sounds as though the jeep club and the people getting high are all the same people. There should be a clause written that states these were two seperate events. Emerald Coast Jeep Club members are not affiliated with drugs. As this report is currently written it appears as if the media wants us to link the two together. And since when does the FWC start reporting to the media about the citations they issue? And if this is all they accomplished with that many officers and equipment then we need to know why. If your going to report about a couple of guys riding in a place without any signs telling them they can't ride there or your going to report about a group of people on a canoe trip smoking some weed then I want to hear about how many boaters were ticketed for not having enough life jackets and how many people were cited for fishing without a liscense and how many people were in possession of illegal fish. It's just odd that these are the only two events reported This is very poor reporting. When you read the story it sounds as though the jeep club and the people getting high are all the same people.
