Buy a suitable live-aboard sailboat in a state that doesn't require boat registration. Pay cash.

Always pay for everything in cash

Use burner phones

Sound like fun?

Far far easier said than done... ;)

What state doesn't require you to register a boat sizeable enough to live on? :unsure:

Many stores I go in don't take cash when they are "closing out their registers". :rolleyes:

I heard something about legislation outlawing burner phones. 😳

It would be fun if it could be done... :cool:

States that do not require boat registration are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Here's the gotcha... if you tie up for a month most states on the coasts and some on inland waterways will charge you what amounts to a property tax. Marinas are obligated to rat you out because they are taxed on that income.

Cash is definitely becoming a pain in the ass. It's true retailers are increasingly demanding cards and refusing cash. Any cash transaction over ten grand gets reported to the IRS. It's also rumored that it's less and ALL transactions over 5k are reported. Because wise guys were negotiating a payments of $9,999.99.

Burner phones probably will be outlawed. But they aren't yet. The majority of people using them are criminals. Have you seen these new walkie-talkie type things? It's a resurrection of the Nextel technology. Amateur radio provides a lot of options if you are skilled enough to manage it. But it's complicated. Radio geeks will argue that point. The 50 year old virgins who have elaborate model railroad sets in their basement will tell you it's easy.

You are right. The average schlub can't do it for very long They will fuck up leave tracks. Kaczynski was a high IQ genius and could not resist the temptation to give himself away. Living in isolation is close to impossible for humans.

I know a guy who did the Great Loop on a 60 foot motor yacht three consecutive times over 3-4 years. He made a fortune founding a startup in the early 90's and sold it. He wanted to be a ghost because because his estranged wife was after his money. She was connected and had expensive PI's and lawyers trying to track him down and was reporting him to state and fed tax authorities. He kept moving and stayed ahead of them all for three years, never leaving the US. He eventually ended up in the Cayman Islands.

I didn't realize there were so many. :unsure: The two states I've been involved with boats (RI and FL) both require hull numbers for registration stickers (ie: a title). No reg or expired stickers here in FL and the Woods & Water Cops (FWC) will be pulling up along side and probably ticketing you "for the cause" (conservation). Trailers are registered separately. :rolleyes:

A few years after I moved here, I borrowed my brother's 12' alum. boat to take a little cruise in the St. Johns River with my daughter. I had sold my inflatable a year earlier but still had the 8hp off it. That boat was registered in RI and I had done many a trip up and down the St. Johns with it not once "pulled over" by FWC. The 8hp was a good match for the 12'-er.

Not 5 minutes on the water and FWC pulled up, did a safety check (passed) then informed me the boat needed to be registered to be on navigable waters. :rolleyes: He did say I could go over to an area where he had just seen some manatees so I could show my daughter and we motored over there but there were none. :(

The first month here, I had probably seen a dozen alligators in the wild--it was probably 5 years before I saw a sea cow. I'd like to try the flesh from both although I would imagine manatee steaks would be overly fatty and "marbled". :sick: Probably like eating a sloth... :D

Anyhow, I looked into getting the boat registered. It was a land-locked "lake" boat that came with a house my brother bought so he and prior owners had never bothered to register it. It had been over 10yrs since it was registered and to title it would require hunting down the previous titlee, which I did, but who was non-responsive. That was the extent of my involvement with that boat other than using it on my brother's lake.

The spot checks on the more busy/crowded waterways are a problem if you are trying to be a ghost. You could get fancy and register the boat to a trust or corporation, but that creates a paper trail too. But it’s not a trail a Ranger is going to investigate. Most of the time, they just want to be sure you arent drunk. I had a friend with a boat when I was in DC. He kept it in Annapolis and I was stopped a couple of times for those ‘safety checks’. Especially around the summer holidays and weekends when there are a lot of boats on the water and everyone is drinking.

NC requires a boat to be registered. Trailers are a separate thing. A trailer must have a license plate and be renewed annually like a car.

When your windage isn't "too" bad, but you need to work on your elevation.
Also need to upgrade to a PCP. ;)

The lumberjack yells, "TIMBER" when he fells a tree.
The blade runner yells, "Flock You".

Anyone here anything about yesterday's "DeFlocking Day".

More on the Monroe Co. deputy.

Married former Monroe County FL deputy, Lamar Roman, worked security on a TV series (Bad Monkey) that was filmed in the Florida Keys.

He took a fancy to one of the women in the show and used Flock/ALPR cameras & their AI database to locate her address and her vehicle as she was going down the road. If you go to the county's website (separate video) you can see the dash cam footage of him passing two vehicles in a double yellow at 70+ MPH to speed up and pull her over. One of the vehicles had to swerve off the road (seriously...) to avoid his cop car when he was speeding up to pull her over.

He then pulled her over with no legal pretext. Bodycam footage then shows him saying "I told you I'd find you" and laughing during the illegal stop.

He THEN added her vehicle to a "hot list" in the database that would alert him every time her car passed a privately owned surveillance camera in his county.

After being arrested his criminal case was moved to a "diversionary" program where his charges will be dropped when/if he a completes court mandated program.

He will never spend a day in prison for criminally stalking her nor for the BLATANT violation of her 4th & 14th Amendment rights.

I hope she sues the county and bankrupts them for ever deciding to infringe on the county citizens rights like this. This was a conscious decision made by county leadership that was 100% predictable at the time.
 
The only two Flock cameras in the whole Ocala National Forest are at the public shooting range. One taking pics of who goes in, and the other, who goes out. Hmm... :unsure:

Still want to tell me the one about the 3 bears, the Amber Alerts, and stolen cars?

When the Government provides you a place to shoot... Don't go there. Cameras or not.
 
New video about Flock's Condor people watching camera, complete with pan and zoom. Oh, and it seems they are easy to access both live feed and stored videos. The computer geeks in the crowd will be able to makes sense of the tech speak.

If you thought the license plate readers were dystopian, think again... 😲
