I always keep my lisence on me, at all times. It had a permenant place in my vest.
But, a young man fishing beside me apparently did not. So the ministry officer shows up, asks for his lisence (Telling the story I was told). He didn't have it on him. So the MO. Takes his truck, all his gear and gives him a fine well over $300.
So the man went home, got his lisence and went up to the nearly ministry office. The fine was taken care of and he was allowed to have all his stuff back. In 3 business days.
Was he BS'ing me? Maybe, maybe not. Make sure you all have your card on you, or at least in the vehicle. Would hate to hear something like this happening to one of you.
I've heard of things like this before. Mostly with people who really didn't have a lisence though.
Take care,
Shane
