I have one question for the folks that have sailed outside the US waters. I presume other countries have the equivalent of the cost guard for their countries. Do all the "coast guard like" entities have the same powers to board and inspect with no warrant? If a sailor is 200 miles out or just 20 miles out, can the Mexican coast guard board and inspect like the US Coast guard can?
I understand the need to check for safety and illegal stuff, but I certainly understand Jeff's point, of a complete lack of 4th amendment rights. I can understand both views and I see the conflict.
Interesting thread.
