We've only been out to Havasu a few times and each time we went we always paid for a DD and so I never paid attention to 'Johnny Law".
Is it like the show, better or worse, down here in Fl, they're not to bad, but back at LOTO they've gotten down right nasty the last few years, just wondering.
Good morning Joey,
I only get to Havasu 1-2 times a year. LE is very serious there, in fact all of AZ is. I keep my consumption on the lake low if I'm driving. Lately though I've been lucky to ride with a friend that doesn't drink so that's working out better yet, he drives, I drink. :D

But we never see them Monday thru Thrusday, except if there is a holiday or spring break during that time.Quote:

Make the decision to be safe for you and your crew the result will be good mojo for all of you.:bananadance:
I'm not asking because I do or that I want to drink and drive, i was just wanting to know if the show was real or not.
Most of the time I am amazed at the amount of LE presence in Havasu. You have San Bernadino Sheriff boats, Fish and Game boats, Ranger boats, LHC police boats, Fire Safety boats, EMT boats, Cops on quads, Cops on foot and Helicopters flying over. I have been in a cove before with maybe 40 or 50 boats in the coves with families floating around with 3 different enforcement agencies in boats and a helicopter overhead.. Holiday weekends are ridiculous. I am all for safety but the ratio of enforcement to the need seems to be way off. We need a big budget cut. As I type this I would probably be the first person to thank LE if I needed them. Just seems like the level of cops around is a little excessive. I have never had any problems with them and they all seem very nice and not intrusive. I just think there are too many for the need.
