I think this is a problem everywhere. I live in Oregon and this Stuff happens here all of the time. I can understand the Birthday Kid that lets one loose now and then. I even can accept that there are folks that do it at Funerals. Wouldn't it be great to impose a graduated penalty system with the fines going directly to the Fisheries? Trust me I hate Taxes and more laws are seldom the answer. If they would enforce it, the Car Dealerships might think twice about cutting the string and letting them fly. Just my $ 0.02 Thanks,
