Police warn: It can get really expensive! | BT Society - www.bt.dk Summer, sun and boat trip on the sound. It sounds like something near the perfect way to spend a day off. But it can be an expensive affair if you do not have control of the rules at sea, it sounds from Funen Police. In a post on Twitter, the police district urges the sailing people to remember the rules and the good manners when they go to sea. For the police keep an eye on the sailors - both on land, at sea and from the air. They are present both along the Funen coasts and harbors, on the water and then the long arm of the law also keeps an eye on the air with the help of drones. "Just like on land, we focus on safety and security when we patrol the sea, and that is also what we look for when we meet sailors, surfers and other citizens who travel on and by the water," it reads from Police Commissioner Henrik Strauss from Funen Police. During the week, the Funen Police have been on control of the water and in this connection have seized more than 30 vessels and their drivers, and there are still sailors who have difficulty complying with the speed limits on the water. Five were charged with sailing faster than the allowed five knots. The fine for sailing too fast within 300 meters from the coast or in the special areas around Middelfart and Svendborg is 5,000 kroner the first time and 10,000 kroner the second time. In addition to the five fast sailors, one was charged with not having a statutory life jacket on board and one was missing the statutory liability insurance. “In many cases, it is ignorance when the sailors we meet do not comply with the law. That is why we also do a lot to guide and have a good dialogue with those we meet at our inspections, "says Henrik Strauss, Police Commissioner at Funen Police. "Fortunately, we mainly meet happy sailors who take into account their own and others' safety and comply with the rules, so we look forward to another good season." you can find them.
