Maybe “Mod 3.1” should be anodizing the holder black to go with your blue/black motif.

What’s the story behind the name crime pays?

Were not gonna see you in the news arrested for embezzling money? JK..

 

[Marvin willis]

I think he was a cop. Now a lawyer.

15 years former federal law enforcement, 10 former District Attorney, 6 years a criminal defense attorney...thus crime has been paying me for 31 years.

Did you buy this flag holder black or do it yourself?

I'm definitely going to either powder coat or paint the mount black. I'm debating whether to also powder coat the wakeboard racks or buy the really nice Roswell racks that are already black.

I powdercoated it.

 

[Commander50]

I powdercoated it.

I was afraid you were going to tell me that. I will include the flag holder in my list of parts to powder coat. I really, really like the Roswell wake board racks and Roswell will custom paint them when you order.

Be careful with those flag holders. They are great when at anchor and people are playing around the boat. However, I've actually had the Sheriff stop and do a safety check as I forgot and left it out when towing a boarder, as "technically, the flag should only be up when there is a person in the water."

As a former law enforcement officer, I am all to aware of the law enforcement use of pretext stops. The San Diego Lifeguards and San Diego Harbor Patrol stop boats for the same reason frequently. I always remove the flag when not engaged in water sports.

I got stopped because I left the flag out after we had picked everyone up and was cruising back, once. But, in IL and MO I’m pretty sure it’s required to post the orange flag anytime in water and/or towing. Is that not right?

You’re saying you were pulled over for having the flag displayed and a boarder in the water? That doesn’t sound right.

 

[Matt Phillips]

I forgot to pull it in after we stopped and people were swimming about. I then started pulling a boarder and once that boarder went down, the sheriff came over and stopped me to remind me.

I used to manage college dorms in my previous career and worked closely with law enforcement so I was my usual polite self and we were on our way a few moments later (after he asked where my Type IV PFD was).
