Welcome to the Rubicon here is your Ticket.

That is what My Nephew and I experienced this past Saturday Thanksgiving weekend when we went to the Trail.
We were in My Nephews new 2007 JK 4 Door Granted that it has been lifted and has after market bumpers but that is all. As we crossed the first dam we passed a Female Forest Service Officer who hard eyed us but kept going. As we crossed the second dam we were flagged down by a second FSLE. Sitting at the Top of the entrance to staging area. The second we stopped my nephew was asked where is your front plate. Why don't you have your seat belt on properly 'He had on the lap belt with the shoulder strap behind him.
We were very polite to this FSLE. In return He was Arrogant, Rude and Mister by the book. I believe a warning would have sufficed. The Ticket was not a big deal as far as a fine goes, but the fact that my Nephew lives in Nevada and the FSLE stated that my nephew must appear in Court in Placerville for the SEAT BELT TICKET. I know our State is hard up for cash but this is ridiculous.
 So much for good will between the F/S and trail users.

Was it the heavier Asian guy? (I'm not judging by race)

He gave me a ticket on Ice House when I was already stopped on the side of the road. he got me for a broken tail light, no mud flaps, a cracked windshield, and no registration when I hadn't even got my registration in the mail from DMV yet.

Then the other weekend at the P.O.R. Poo Run he stopped a guy for his trailer crossing the double yellow through a corner. he also gave him a fix-it ticket for the placement of his Green Sticker on his rig which was on the trailer. Also with a warning for mud flaps for the rig on the trailer.

Then he came down to the spillway and wrote a guy a warning for something (I think his license plate placement or something) on his trailer when he was out cleaning up the trail.

This guy is just a "by the book" kind of guy.

im on several backpacking sites and most of the people on there say they work for the forest service and there are quite a few that want to do the LEO for them. Ill tell you what that its goin to suck ass if even 50% of them actually make it because they are so anti offroad it makes me sick. i have got into it with them a few times but its hard to prove that we arent all abunch of rednecks that tear up.

very true, but on the same hand we need to work very closely and help WITH the forest service law enforcement.
