Me and my black brother-in-law went fishing in my little Jon boat on a river in town. Our route took us past the port where there were several different law enforcement agencies guarding the entrance to the port. We were on the other side of the wide river from the port entrance going past the port. My brother-in-law had a large Afro which they could see, especially with their binoculars they were using.
The first one to stop us was the game warden. No problem, they check almost everyone they see. The other agencies watched our stop from their boats. The game warden cleared us and as soon as I started going the next, Homeland Security stoped us 50 yards later. The guy on the 50 caliber had it pointed at us during the whole stop. I complained about him pointing his weapon at us to no avail. After they were done and started backing away the Texas DPS boat came up and did the same thing. I told them they had all watched us stopped twice, why are you doing it again? They did not answer. We had to give each one our ID, prove life jackets, floatation device, fire extinguisher…. I was pissed! Finally, the DEA boat comes up as the DPS troopers were backing off. They too pointed a 50 cal at us and went through the routine. All told we spent over 40 minutes being harassed by 4 government agencies that were hanging out together at the port entrance. They all had radio and knew we were just a couple of guys going fishing in a 14 foot aluminum boat with only a 25 horse motor. We could go no where fast and they could see everything in my boat.
We went fishing and I went the long way through the swap to return to avoid a repeat performance I was sure was coming. Since that time I have passed them on the river without my brother-in-law and have not been stopped once!
