Wonder if they made an effort to catch them in the act before just dragging the bay? You gotta think they’re doing this at night. Why not try and catch them red handed? This isn’t a couple kids in a tinny with strings over 1km long.

I was thinking the same thing. You would think because it was a multiple day operation that they at least did some recon.
 
I'm sure they know who did it. They got their headline, back to napping.
 
There is an obvious reason why they are not catching them red-handed, which is the gold standard for law enforcement.
Because it will be a waste of time and effort to charge them.
Either the fines are a cost of doing business or they are going to claim some higher law.

So this is the best they can do, make it hurt them economically by taking the traps and lines.

They gotta have boats that can be seized? And trucks if they’re trailer queens.

It's probably easier for them to keep the traps if they don't catch them in the act otherwise it'll be "systemic racism". If they're just random illegally set gear then boom no problem. No spitting and swearing and death threats.

You thinking it’s FN’s?
 
Imagine how much of this happens all the time. They obviously didn’t drag up every trap.
