If the public is brainwashed enough to call the police in sight just for the noise and "water stirring" maybe we need to focus on educating the sheeple (naive public)?

A few months ago a man panning in a creek was in the police blotter as well.

Not sure how we can slowly steer the public but most of these people don't even know how mining equipment works and what it is and is NOT.

But did any enforcement respond? I don't see a lot of enforcement all in all. Im a bit of a newb but in im yet to see any "rangers". But plenty of dirty looks from rafters! Who by the way can kiss my backside. Its OK for them to use the river but not anyone else. Releasing huge volumes of water in a drought so a dozen or so people can raft? thats crazy....but you don't hear any enviro nuts complaing bout that !

and seriously..calling 911 that is a joke. Our society is so delusional. That ranks right up there with the lady who called 911 from Mcdonalds Drive thru for running out of nuggets!

I don't know yet, I'm looking into it. I did find the misuse of the word "dredger" to actually be funny. "Stop using that dredger you mischief miners!" LOL!

I bet it was some crotchety old lady that calls the police over any noise she hears. Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

I don't know, a lot of our old ladies are either cool old timers or the type that go to country clubs and don't get around much. Even then they are usually more worried about identity theft or creeper druggies. My bet is on a very young or very old activist.

Activist?

Sheeple!!
