What's with the Texas Highway Patrol on a river?

Never been to Texas, and I should leave this to the Texans here, but I'm guessing they throw navigable waterways in with highway enforcement, much like the state police here.

Uhm, I knew this was so far off, I actually looked it up.

If by "75%," you actually meant "5%," I would have said "close enough."

5th grade apparently was a tough time for you, that apparently didn't get any better.

and therein lies the difference.... you looked it up and I stressed a point. now let's get back on track here googlesdale

Rio Grande might have something to do with it.

K...thanks for clearing that up. I still hoped they might send a brochure... and I want you to be my acrobat.

Wait, wait... please detail at which point it was that you decided you were even capable of getting over on anyone, much less actually did so.

TIA for the laughs.

That river is the border with Mexico. Since the Feds have done next to nothing to secure it from drugs, counterfeit merch, or illegal immigration, the state decided to step in. One of the biggest issues the Feds created without meaning to was what was called splash downs. Sumggelers, of both drugs and people, would drive vehicles into the river to escape law enforcement. This was because the Feds considered anyone in the river to have reached Mexico and would end all pursuit. Texas was tired of having these criminals stand a foot into the river and give the Feds the finger.

So enter the boats which some in Washington called the Texas Navy in a mocking tone. That was then adopted as the nickname for the project. So now when criminals splash down into the river they are often scooped out by the officers in the boats and the drugs or goods are confiscated. Then contractors are called to fish the vehicles out of the river.

The only statewide law enforcement organization is the DPS or Highway Patrol. So the boats were given to them to operate. In news that should shock no one, the Feds tried to shut down the "Texas Navy" but lost.

You're probably one of the most least known posters here. I'm astonished at your post total, and I barely even remember you. After seeing a few of your posts to Dins, I know good and fucking well why you've gone as an unknown.

Oh well - fucks are not given. That much is certain on my part.

Been around since '96 or '97 on various boards. You are dead on about fucks not being given especially on my part. Post totals, board cred, wytching, troll stops, ... zero fucks given. Just check in from time to time to see what you fags are up to. Been kinda disappointed the last few years. This used to be the cul de smack with smack offs and all that. Take it easy old feller
