I don't mind getting a ticket if the MPs measure my boat length to find that it failed some registration requirement; however, they'd better have used a state-provided, ostensibly-calibrated, tape measure.
When the MPs take
my tape measure, and use it to incriminate
my boat,
I'd be marching that one by a
judge.
(OK, not really—I'd just pay up—but there's this nagging amendment here).
