I know it's Ohio, but why would you tell people...

We have a place at LAke Cumberland...last year they set up a checkpoint at the top of one of the hills coming from the Marina. That is the only way out...so in theory this is illegal correct?

No, I don't think the detour thing is a Kentucky law. It may be a suggestion or best practice but I don't think it is the law that they have a bypass available.

 

I've driven through those also and thought it was pure genius to catch drunk boaters before they got out on the roads.

They have to advertise it because they shouldn't be legal to begin with. Think about it if I do a U-turn because I do not want to be stopped. How is that in reality not a direct violation of the 4th ammendment. The courts found a weird loop hole as long as it is publicized in a newspaper most people do not read it is legal.

 

If this were really a legit practice why would it need to be advertised?
