(emphasis mine)In 1953, the year the Port was dedicated, a Special Act of the Florida state legislature created the independent governmental agency that operates the Port – the Canaveral Port Authority.
Well damn...that was fast.
The restriction is null, void and unenforceable.
Carry on!:banana:
(bold as in original, red emphasis mine)Fishing Pier
If fishing is your forte, Jetty Park has got you covered with its 1,200' fishing pier that extends into the ocean guaranteeing that no fish is safe from the experienced angler. The fishing pier is fully accessible to the physically challenged. The fishing pier is equipped with running water and fish cleaning stations. And you don't need a license to fish off the pier although fishing rules and regulations still apply. Bait and tackle can be purchased at the Bait Shop located in the two-story beach pavilion.
(bold as in original)You do not need a saltwater fishing license or a snook or spiny lobster *permit if...
-You fish for recreational purposes from a pier with a valid pier saltwater fishing license.
So, Rich! Are you going to tell'em?
Also, it is a CAMPGROUND so OC should be good plus FISHING on the pier.
Anybody want to go?
It's on our "to do" list, but it's a bit more complex than it appears.
However... as a mental exercise let us presume that the 'pier' fishing license is indeed in effect for the Jetty Park Pier. One would legally be able to OC completely STERILE and still be within the parameters of the law.
-You are not carrying concealed
-You are either on your way to, engaged in, or on your way from a lawful fishing activity
-You are not required to posses a license to fish at that location (from the pier...stay off the beach unless you have an actual fishing license)
-You are neither required by law to maintain or posses identification documents if you are not engaged in any licensed activity. (driving, etc.)
Anyone asking for ID in such an instance *could* be greeted with a resounding ''Piss off!'', though I would advise a more...diplomatic...approach.
More complex in what way? (Or is there some stratigery going on behind the scenes that begs silence? Cards close to vest? Chess pieces being placed?)
DO NOT TELL THE PD TO PISS OFF!
First, and most importantly to getting open carry passed in Florida, it makes us look bad. Legislators do not pass laws to help people who are trying to "stick it to the man".
Second, failure to at least verbally identify yourself to PD is grounds for arrest under many circumstances in Florida.
Here is one such statutory example:
856.021 Loitering or prowling; penalty.—(1) It is unlawful for any person to loiter or prowl in a place, at a time or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals, under circumstances that warrant a justifiable and reasonable alarm or immediate concern for the safety of persons or property in the vicinity.
(2) Among the circumstances which may be considered in determining whether such alarm or immediate concern is warranted is the fact that the person takes flight upon appearance of a law enforcement officer, refuses to identify himself or herself, or manifestly endeavors to conceal himself or herself or any object. Unless flight by the person or other circumstance makes it impracticable, a law enforcement officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offense under this section, afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm or immediate concern which would otherwise be warranted by requesting the person to identify himself or herself and explain his or her presence and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this section if the law enforcement officer did not comply with this procedure or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the person is true and, if believed by the officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm or immediate concern.
(3) Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
