Yeah but you can't float on a tube while smoking a joint and towing a cooler in the Delaware out there
You can definitely do that on the Salt River just east of Phoenix!
I had a run in with one of the valleys "so called finest" at the little turn around Facility they had set up for the people that rented the inner tubes and rafted down the river. We used our own inner tubes but we used that as turnaround like everybody else. I would park my truck at the turn around then we'd go back up river in someone else's vehicle. We did that to keep from having to wait for the bus to take us back up river.
This particular time it was Memorial Day weekend and the river was packed........the County Sheriff's Dept was out in force also.
They were out there searching people as they're waiting for the bus or getting in their vehicles to leave....... And people were
letting them go through their belongings.

Well......................... I got a big 'roided out, dummer than a box o rocks idiot that was still so new, he was still a probey.
HOLY F*CK! Was this guy STUPID AF! I've given rocks with lips the AZVAB tests that were smarter than this dude!
He
TRIED to violate my 1st, 4th and 5th Amendment Rights. He tried to stop me and the others in my group from going to my truck. I and this other guy were carrying my big ice chest and gear. The girls were cheering too small iced tea in their gear. He stopped us and wanted to search the ice chests and our gear. I took the girls ice chests and gear and bungee corded it to my ice chest and told Einstein he's not searching my stuff. I gave him
one chance to tell me what crime he thinks I have committed. am committing or about to commit. "You're acting suspicious!" said Einstein. "Is acting suspicious a misdemeanor or a felony, officer?"
"Neither." said Meathead.
So I just started dragging my ice chest and gear on the rear wheels to my truck.
"Stop! Stop!"
"State a statute that I'm violating and I will! Otherwise leave me the F*CK alone!"
Him am sho mad!



And then he notices that my girl is taping the whole thing!



He's still following me to my truck but, he's not issuing me stupid orders. I get to my truck and unlocked the tonneau cover, threw the gear in and locked it. I threw the keys to my girl and told her to start the truck up to cool things down, but keep filming.
Hey Bubba! Did you ever come up with that statute that you think I'm violating??
No, but I'm getting my supervisor.
That's the smartest thing you said this entire time!
Luckily his supervisor was a little smarter than him or he just didn't want to deal with us, but he let us go.
About a year later, this same deputy beat his wife and put her in the hospital. They never arrested him, but a week or so later they found him in the desert with what looked like to be a suicide. I think the uncle of his wife have him taken out. He was a member of the Hell's Angels or had very close ties.
