I witnessed some form of Authorities issuing summonses to some hapless
canoeists in Darien, CT., because the canoeists didn't have their PFDs on.
The Authorities were quite perfunctory about it.  No ifs ands or buts.
Citations issued.  Period.  I believe there are several other states that
will do the same.
