New Group Seeks Tougher Penalties For Off-Roaders 07-17-2007 7:04 AM (Tucson, AZ) -- A group of former government workers is pushing for tougher penalties for off-road drivers who trample natural resources. The newly-formed Rangers for Responsible Recreation claims off-road vehicles are the top threat to public lands. The group is using data from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to back up their claim. The group is pushing for heftier fines, confiscation of off-road vehicles, and suspension of hunting and fishing licenses. Off-road vehicle enthusiasts stress that many of them promote safe riding to preserve access to trails. One rider says it is usually a small group who spoils it for everyone. www.peer.org/news/news_id.php?row_id=879www.peer.org/campaigns/public...rv/rangers.phpwww.headwatersnews.org/pr.rangers071007.htmlwww.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...ciTech_3011900__________________

Jim I read that in last nite paper. What bothers me is that most of the time the newspaper only prints the bad things not the good things, like some of the off-road clubs helping to cleanup areas or doing things to help the forest service or blm or whoever. I guess that helping the forest service and other agency's don't mean nothing. I think that if you get caught doing something stupid then you should get fined.
