      There could be lots of reasons. He may only be able to operate without registration on specific waters. Or only while engaged in a protected activity (e.g., fishing, hunting, or gathering food), but not while engaged in others (e.g., water skiing). Or maybe he bought the boat from someone who previously had it registered.

      @@MotherMeece I haven't heard enough to know that that's been established. IF he's a member of the tribe and IF tribal members are exempt from registration when engaged in a protected activity, and IF he was engaged in that activity on waters where it's allowed, then it wasn't illegal for him to operate the boat in those waters without registration. But even if true, that doesn't mean the cop did anything wrong when he assumed that that the guy was required to have registration, because that's the norm, and not needing registration is the exception.

      It is up to each tribe to decide who is and isn't a member.
      There are black tribal members who have no native blood. (And many that do have native blood) These were descendants of slaves held by the tribal members. They gained tribal "citizenship" when the tribes outlawed slavery. These slaves were sometimes living on reservations under tribal law. Some were with their masters on the Trail of Tears.
      This has been a contentious issue within the tribes, with some black members having to sue in federal court to retain their status.
      As for "White" tribal members, most of them are descendents. They have one Indian in their ancestry. But again, it is up to each tribe to determine who is a member. In one case it was matri-lenial (I can't spell it today, through the mother.). The children of men with the non native wives were told to leave.

      He wasn't testifying to drunk boating as this hearing was a motion to suppress.

    • @amicaaranearum
      @amicaaranearum 4 месяца назад +3

      It isn’t relevant to the issue of whether he was boating while impaired. It is potentially relevant to the question of whether the officer had a right to stop him for having an expired registration, since the U.S. has allowed members of certain tribes to fish without needing a license or registration - but that exemption only applies while they are fishing. If he is boating but not fishing, he would still need a valid registration.
      That being said, it’s pretty rare for courts to accept expert testimony on what the law is. I think the court was trying to accommodate a pro se defendant.

      The officer only needed reasonable suspicion, since it was just a _Terry_ stop at the time that he saw the expired registration. This is a pretty low standard, so it’s difficult to get evidence thrown out on the basis that the _Terry_ stop was unconstitutional.
