3. How is that relevant to the officer being neglectful in putting the life vest on properly?

When you arrest someone and handcuff them, they become your responsibility. If this were a child and the parents didn't properly vest them, some people (even on DU) would be screaming for their heads. Immobilizing a person makes you responsible for whatever happens to them afterward.

Are you implying that naming your boat with anything to do with alcohol is some kind of proof that a person over indulges? Perhaps, they just found the name cute.

Or are you implying that a person deserves to die because they did and got caught?
