One of my buddies in Santa Barbara is a commercial fisherman and he came across and abandoned drug running panga boat with three massive outboard engines. The police tried to seize it but he had already utilized maritime law and spray-painted his information on the side of the boat. The police did in fact take it for evidence but they gave it back to him by law. I think he made about $40,000 off of the engines! It's a great story. I don't really understand the maritime law but it works if you do it correctly.
@@jakobfromthefence that's funny! The cops were pissed and said that the boat was evidence and they arrested him at the harbor and then let him go five minutes later with no charges.
