While kayaking on the Ocoee river my instructor commented on all of the rednecks swimming in the river without a PFD. I PFD must be worn by all boating or not. He wondered aloud why the rangers, who were present, werent ticketing them. The other instructor said he once asked a ranger that same question because a kayaker would not be allowed to get away with it. The ranger's response was that kayakers dont threaten to shoot you when you hand them a $50 ticket. Local Ocoee rednecks tend to lean that way.
