Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants lawmakers to stop law-enforcement officers from using boat-safety inspections as a pretext for "intrusive" checks on "people that are acting responsibly" on Florida waters.

Ron DeSantis wants the Legislature to halt law-enforcement officers from using boat safety inspections as a pretense for “intrusive” checks of “people that are acting responsibly” on Florida waters. DeSantis’ proposal would require a change in a state law that allows law-enforcement officers to pull over boaters for safety inspections when no probable cause or suspected violations have occurred.
