UPDATE: Boca Bashers put on a disgusting show when they dumped bins of trash off a boat after a wild, boozy weekend. Boca Bash isn't connected to the city of Boca Raton. Because it's on the water, it falls under the jurisdiction of the state. In this case, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is the lead agency. At this point, it's not clear what action the FWC will take, but the agency wants each person involved to do at least 500 hours of community service. Do you think this is enough?

I get it, I'm an environmental scientist by trade and a surfer and fisherman by hobby, but that's a straight up authoritarian nightmare scenario you just created in your head that is purely emotional and completely disproportionate. Jail time and surrendering your boat? Sounds like you'd prefer to live in some kind of dystopian commie nightmare like China. The punishment should always fit the crime and we should never let the government abuse its powers like you suggest, Mr. Mao.

The Captain is Charlie Ruth. His parents are Chris and Lisa Ruth of Gulf Stream Florida. They own Firstlight Care Home Franchises, they are from New York! The trash dumper is Michael Kirby a Junior at Boca Raton H.S.

Coast Guard doesn't really handle these cases, this will fall on FWC, Coast Guard is more focused on the more serious offenses i.e. drug/human smuggling and the at sea water rescues as that's what they're mostly trained for. They leave the small level offenses that happen within inlets and/or the immediate coastline to FWC and any local Sheriff's Offices as they have overlapping jurisdictions.

I understand you guys took the video of the punks throwing trash overboard. You guys are entitled to up to 50% of the fines the owner gets. I've been an offshore vessel Master for 45 years, I never tolerate dumping anything over the side by my crews. Here is the regulation you use to collect. Title 33 1908(a) 1908. Penalties for violations (a) Criminal penalties; payment for information leading to conviction A person who knowingly violates the MARPOL Protocol, Annex IV to the Antarctic Protocol, this chapter, or the regulations issued thereunder commits a class D felony. In the discretion of the Court, an amount equal to not more than ½ of such fine may be paid to the person giving information leading to conviction. So it was Trysail Halcyon Holdings LLC, look up the address. I've seen a crew member get $2.2 million, another got $300,000. Report your information to the USCG in Washington and tell them about Title 33 USC 1908(a)

Turn them over to the Feds. Under federal law, dumping trash (plastic, rags, glass, food, metal, crockery, dunnage, lining & packaging, materials that float, etc.) in lakes, rivers, bays, sounds, and 0 - 3 miles from shore is punishable by civil penalties up to $25,000, a fine of up to $50,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to 5 years.

4:38 it’s called thinning of the herd.

Absolutely should be jail time people that have money or kids that have parents that have money shouldn’t get no special treatment because if that was the average blue collar man they would be sticking it to him but by all means it’s wrong what they did and should be penalized severely, on the second note about all the rescues anyone buying a jet ski or boat should have to have a boaters safety certificate before u can purchase a jet ski or boat to many people put themselves and others in danger and don’t understand how dangerous an inlet can be and would never put my family, friends or other people in danger but that’s my 2 cents

They were dumping evidence that they were all drinking underage, and boating while intoxicated. The boat owners rich father has already hired lawyers. Such is the privileged life.

One thing to make a mistake, but this was calculated and malicious.

Almost every boat, jet-ski or whatever that comes out of these locations are owned or crewed by arrogant, wealthy, extrovert show-offs who do whatever they want and selfishly never think of anyone else. A change in many of the whimpy laws is necessary, punishments need to fit the crime in some way, so the authorities should find area where there are Quicksands,deposit an amount of rubbish in each one, including the offender who should be left to find his own way out. If he/she manage to escape they're declared Debtless if not even better, but they won't throw any more rubbish in any place.

The boat doesn't have registration numbers. Is this a Florida thing?

@joenord

15 күн бұрын

Not a Florida thing - federal thing. Boats which are US federally documented are required to show the vessel name and home port on the stern, that is their registration, and the combination of home port and name is always unique. The official certificate of documentation must be carried on the vessel. Federally documented vessels MAY also be state registered (taxes, limitations of time in state), but here they are forbidden from displaying the state registration letters, but do need to carry the state registration. Going mostly from memory here, but the gist of it is that if you're federally documented, that wins.

They take risks like that because they're young. They are probably ignorant to the fact of what can and will happen. IMO

I'm not familiar with the laws about this sort of behavior. I'll be interested in hearing what charges are actually filed and what ultimately happens.

I would just like to know why so many people are going offshore in such bad weather? I don't see many fishing rods on these boats.

That’s going to be an expensive can of trash, regardless of any fine they get. Lawyers aren’t cheap.

I’m so sick of people littering . They just throw their trash on the ground . I live in Fort Lauderdale. The bus stops are always full of trash. I have seen vacationers come to the beach having just bought their beach supplies like towels chairs toys. The group of them unwrapped their stuff and just let the tags bags and wrapping there in the sand. There must have been ten of them and they left a huge mess. The ignorance is astounding.

Hope they do jail time.

Look at the bottom of that hull 1:08

Not could Should. Poor parenting.

The parents are wealthy so there is zero chance any of their children will spend any time in jail. OTH, if either of the punks that dumped the trash are just friends then they can go to jail. Mark my words, none of the children of the parents that own the boat will spend any time in jail and are unlikely to face anything but a fine the parents can easily cover.

Government and corporations have done this forever

No jail, make them pick up trash...all summer. Parents are no better as they plan to defend Little Dumping Johnny by saying the boat was 3 miles out....

So who pays for the repairs to the engine when that trash wraps around someones water intake? Big fine and confiscation of boat used to dump that rubbish.

Why no reg on bow?

jail is the wrong answer for this. court order them to pick many multiples of the amount the dumped under supervision by a court appointed officer with the officers wages during the cleanup being charged to the offenders.

Is this supposed to be fun?

Nobody’s going to jail.. they get a fine, maybe some community service and forced to attend some ecological protection classes..

Most boats just pump bilge water over the side. Boats also put exhaust gasses directly in water, especially outboards. Most are over reacting about this like a lynch mob. You should see what big ships pump and throw over the side. Social media judge jury and executioner. Former ocean going tug crew member here.

Take risks because they are STUPID!?

Well they are rich kids. where are the parents. They wont get Jail time but the kid running the boat is responsible along with the parents. A good stretch of Public service and suspended drivers licenses along with max fines should be in order. maybe a judge can revoke the boat regisration for a year.
