For some unexplained reason, Utah does not think that these things are a major problem. "It is just to hard to police it" seems to be the mantra from the general public. Most of the DWR folks know what a hazard and problem they are. I am very surprised and disappointed that a police officer brushed off a report that there was a mussel infested boat at a service station. It is a misdemeanor to transport an infected watercraft in the state!! Personally, I would have pulled my rig in front of them to block them from leaving and called DWR to get someone down to inspect and impound the rig. I can be a real SOB though. I would also report that officer to his Department and let them know what happened. DWR should also be notified.
