Anyone looked at the bill Rick Scott just approved?

[flgliderpilot]

Not just the Bump Stocks,triggers, ban.

A bill regarding new rules regarding beach private property?

Coincidentally he has beach front property in Ft. Lauderdale.

I haven't digested the entire thing yet to figure out how we are effected, I wondered if someone else had.

From what I heard on the news is that the property owners can restrict access to THIER beach front property only ABOVE the mean high tide line. Which can be confusing as the high tide line moves daily. I hope I remembered this correctly. I don't hunt very many places where this should be a problem but others may.

New law Scott signed makes public access to beaches harder to establish

Here is the news story I saw

 

[flgliderpilot]

ok so now anyone with beach front property whos property line extends into the dry sand can fence it off and have people booted for trespassing, where previously they could not. Why do i feel like large hotel chains had nice dinners and property shopping with Rick?

this is a better news article and a little bit clearer on the new law

RI,CT are the same way it has been that way for awhile now.
Just step in the water/wet when they say "I am calling the COPS".
I deal with it surf casting RI all the time there are homemade signs up saying NO TRESPASSING I just walk right by them.

Also make sure to EMAIL him and let him know your thoughts on it.

Ma. is same - high tide mark - people can walk the water line as long as they are "passing thru"
ive had a few times some old biddy yell at me in the water - "This is a private beach sir!"
- that's what is great about wearing a mask and snorkel and head phones - I just sink down and ignore them
I still see guys hunting with out headphones on the dry sand - don't know how they do it

 

[flgliderpilot]

Well, I guess it's less sand to search if people can't use it. I hope these people with private beaches plan to pay for their own dredging to restore the sand lost after big storms.

And pay their full share of flood/storm insurance instead of our tax money subsidizing them.

I equate this to the same thing as the city saying home owners have the right to putting signs and fences over public sidewalks and curb strips and forcing people to walk in the street. Hmmm...maybe thats next?

Only if Rick Scott gets a sideway thru his yard in the near future.

OK help me out. Not being from Fl. If they close the land in front of a lake front home to just the home owner and persons he gives permission to doseen't that change Mel Fishers claims then ?

You need to organize a “Reject and Detect” rally at a popular beach....

 

[lookindown]

I don't hunt the dry sand but many others do...I may go up in the dry now...When the owner comes and tells me he owns to the high tide Ill say, good the tide goes to the dunes in storms...when he says "the mean high tide line, Ill say "show me that line"...when he cant Ill say Ill call the cops so they can show us...of course they cant...It would take charts and a surveyor on site to show you the exact real property line...Im just tired enough of new laws like this to go and have some fun with it and be a total ass.

Right.. yeah mean high tide is I think over 9 years or something like that. Just ask them to show you their property stakes. Oops there are none.

Lakes are a different story. They can be privately owned. The ocean can't.

What was under water at high tide is dry at low tide. Tide also change so a -1.5 tide leaves more sand than a +1 low tide.

Send an email to the Florida Governor complaining about the new law and make sure you tell him they are not to use our taxes to re-sand any beach that is in front of any hotel or home since that is now private property. I have already sent one stating since the dry sand in front of private homes and hotels is now considered private property I want assurances our tax dollars will not be used to re-sand these private properties.

Volusia county residents are fighting back right now. With the new Hard Rock laying claim to the beach in front of their new hotel. Pilings were planted already so no driving there.

This is so unacceptable. We need to adopt Mexico’s law. All beaches regardless open to public and can’t be bought and kept away from public!
