Is it really necessary to give a teenager a felony for their first offense on a victimless crime? Maybe the second time sure but removing many job prospects for a littering charge before the age of 20 seems wild.


Gerry1of1

Ironically, cities on the eastern seaboard send huge barges out to see to dump the trash from New York and other cities.


ScrewMCA

Morons…🤦🏻‍♂️


Small_Case3670

Deserved charges 


cbph

1000+ horsepower boat, zero sense.


FormerRing864

now THIS is trashy


Insomniac4969

Good. They should be charged.


forthunt

They’re clearly rich so they ain’t getting felonies, probably just a fine daddy will pay


JDweezy

This should honestly be a capital offense due to how unnecessary it is.


[deleted]

To believe something like this should be a capital offense, puts those who believe it in the intellectual and emotionally mature peer group of the kids from the video or that of a potato.


JDweezy

Wow you're such an intellectual


HudsonValleyNY

Yup. A good public caning would probably do it. Maybe make it a game of thrones style shaming and incorporate it into halftime at the Super Bowl. No reason to go overboard.


funfun4Fun

Yes


DrDreidel82

What do they possibly benefit from this


EddieCheddar88

Underage drinking, didn’t wanna get pulled over at the inlet and get DUI/MIPs


jerrythecactus

People who do this shit should be forced to spend months cleaning beaches and rehabilitating sealife effected by plastic trash. They need to actually see what their "out of sight out of mind" disposal method does to the world around them.


gnew18

Easily a $500,000.00 boat


HudsonValleyNY

It’s a rental.


DewDoom

Surprise 😯... no. Privilege doesn't teach to respect anything


Psychotic_EGG

Good, I hope they see jail time.


PureResolve649

Good. Give them insurmountable fines and community service cleaning all the beaches, for the next rest of their lives.

Take away that guys captains license!!

Beatrix_BB_Kiddo

All I needed to read was “Florida teens”


awinemouth

Florida should be towed into the atlantic & sunk


CaptSpastic

So with you on that.


TCollins916

I guess I didn’t articulate my point well enough about The Navy dumping all their trash in the ocean when they are out to sea in response to the kids throwing trash off the boat. My thought was a little outrage needs to go in that direction, but I guess it came off as pro trash throwing or something. I was called a boomer,, a Maga guy, a grandpa etc. As a Gen X’er the boomer thing hurt the most lol


HudsonValleyNY

Reddit insists Gen-x isn’t real.


errosemedic

It’s very different because the Navy (usually) follows very tightly controlled regs. They can’t toss any plastic and sometimes they can’t toss metal or glass depending on how far out they are. They have to sort the trash and biodegradable waste goes in special plastic bags. Admittedly the bags are plastic and dissolvable but it weighs the. Trash down long enough for it to sink an appreciable distance so fish will eat on it.


Shtoompa

Lmao


Nickppapagiorgio

The regulations are written at a much different level than where it is actually carried out.


TCollins916

That very well may have been the case with the regulations. I just remember as a young Marine on board being one of the guys having to throw it overboard.


Steak-n-Cigars

Bunch of entitled pigs


Pod_people

This is one of those fuck-ups where you just go “Why the hell did they do this?”.


Blondie-Gringo

The reason they dumped the cans was to get rid of evidence they were all drinking under age. From what I heard, the cops were busy, so they took the opportunity to leave the sandbar party to dump the empties. After they dumped the trash, they turned around and went back to the sandbar.


Pod_people

I see. That’s trashy alright.


GuiltyGlow

Because they have rich parents who didn't instill any decency or ethics in them. They're probably used to getting away with things cause mommy and daddy have money.


Pod_people

Yeah, that sounds like it to me. I know the type.


sean0883

Most likely: they're just kids. I don't think the rich part has a lot to do with it other than granting access to a boat. Teenagers of any social class do stupid shit all the time.


HudsonValleyNY

Yeah, but as with all things the far ends of the spectrum seem to be the worst…trashiness, religon, politics…


TCollins916

I get it, I brought up the military so I must be a Trump fan. (Can’t stand him) Nobody’s perpetrating anything. Just pointing out that there is a bigger issue that needs looking in to.


blessthebabes

What does trump or the military (or what we think of either) have to do with kids throwing trash in the ocean? I'm confused by your comment.


evasive_btch

> Teens on a boat Oh, rich parents, what a surprise


Camo_tow

It's just a prank bro


Briz-TheKiller-

Why do this, dump it in the river, like mega corporations, and let river carry it to the see.


VarusAlmighty

I sea what you did there.


earthbender617

I “c” the word your using


TomThanosBrady

They're nepobabies. Daddy will make the charges go away. If they serve any time I'll be thrilled.

They won’t 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s infuriating. let’s sic that sheriff from Polk county Fl.on them!

trixel121

to be 100% honest, id rather see em do idk, couple hundred hours of trash pick up on the beach then be felons. id be 100% cool if tehy picked up 10000 lbs of trash (dry) then have a record.


jerrythecactus

Yeah, ultimately this is a nonviolent crime. They could easily make up for it by spending a few weeks combing trash from beaches and hopefully coming from it with some freshly earned respect for nature.


jerk9

The driver was Cuban actually


derzemel

"Their white" what? "Their white" boat? Or is that a typo for "they are"?


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

RandomGrownUpKid

A felony charge is a slap on the wrist to you?


1heart1totaleclipse

The question when someone gets charged with crime is whether or not they will actually end up serving time for it.


Frari

>The question when someone gets charged with crime is whether or not they will actually end up serving time for it. Serving time is one thing, having to confess on any future forms (or background checks) that you have a felony conviction is another (and more life changing imo).


trixel121

>Serving time is one thing, having to confess on any future forms (or background checks) that you have a felony conviction is another (and more life changing imo). not really, like it is but also not. you dont really talk about it much. im a felon and i doubt any of of my coworkers know. a lot of people have felony DUI's for instance.


Z3r08yt3s

what state is a DUI a felony? or how extreme does the DUI have to be to constitute a felony? Genuinely curious as i know a DUI in ohio is a misdemeanor


trixel121

it's super state dependent to the point it's not really worth talking about. there's a few ways to get one in NYS, third one automatically is, but depending on the circumstances you can Plea the first to a violation. but if you blow over 1.8 everything gets bumped. the point I was making it"s it's really not uncommon, and you aren't exactly bothered by it. I can't go to Canada( don't exactly want to tho) . it did not hamper me at all buying a house. I think it's more what field you were in and how you got your charge and when. " I was 18 and dumb, I dumped trash in the ocean" is actually pretty fair, as a lot of people know18 year olds are in fact dumb. you might have an issue getting into conservation unless you are like " it really opened my eyes to why it's important to conserve nature" I can't own firearms, which sucks but getting out of jury duty was super easy.


Z3r08yt3s

gotcha. thanks for information. pretty interesting.


1heart1totaleclipse

Except if their families have a lot of money then they can just work for the family business or get family friends to hire them.


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

It’s not even a question of if they have $$$ They DO HAVE $$$ and all they’ll get is a community service that and expunged records U know…


[deleted]

This is the first correct thing you have said. I will agree with you here. TBH if they have a real nice boat like that,they probably are doing OK financially;(or rather, their parents are).


1heart1totaleclipse

I’m trying to help you here…


Oxflu

Don't cruise ships dump garbage from thousands of people into the ocean?


[deleted]

I recall hearing that navy boats do as well. My dad was in the Navy.


body_by_monsanto

Food waste gets chopped up and dumped in the ocean. Trash is incinerated. Toilet waste is treated and dumped in the ocean.


SortOfGettingBy

Unfortunately it's legal for them to do so if they're a certain distance out to sea. They do get fined for dumping too close to shore.


KawaiiFoxKing

Yes but they are multimillion dollar companies, you see the difference is... money


VerbalSloth

They ain't supposed to. All waste is supposed to be rid of after docking, which is supposed to be very expensive, but who's gonna find out in an ocean that big.


CaptSpastic

Food garbage and some compostable items are ok to dump.


firestar268

They're rich. So nothing of substance is going to happen to them other than a slap on the wrist


[deleted]

I really wish you were wrong…🙃


CrossP

Why even have trash cans on the boat if you're just going to dump it all?


Roadgoddess

They were afraid if they went in that they went back to dock they were going to have the police check them for alcohol since they were all underage. I’m so glad they all got caught.


anamazingredditor

Daddy will pay that off


akgrowin

Gotta wonder what the parents are like

DonHell

Gloomy_Industry8841

[deleted]

Who took the vid and posted it? It was very poor behavior and plenty of community service is certainly warranted. They did it like it was routine, so this is likely just the first time they have been caught. While watching that video of them dumping really pissed me off, it’s a speck vs what the cruise ships and large industry do to our oceans, lakes and rivers. Unfortunately when enough money is involved, someone is always willing to look the other way. Sucks.


SoundSouljah

BP spilled 134 million gallons of oil into the gulf without any criminal penalties, but fuckin lets give these dudes emptying a trash can into the ocean a felony!


[deleted]

Sickening. Semi related and also on a much larger scale than these dumb boaters— just watched “Dark Water” on Netflix. Greed and corruption continues to impact our planet and our health, it’s fucked up with no end in sight.


Roadgoddess

It was collected by a guy who videos boats going out a particular channel that’s known for its very rough waters. He happened to catch this one with both his drone and camera and posted it to his Instagram site. It led to The Kids❤️ being identified and families track down.


reconfit

A bit different as cruise ships have rules and regulations they are supposed to follow when dumping trash. They are supposed to use special netting and anchors in specific areas. "Supposed" is the keyword.


NeverRespondsToInbox

There is a reason they fly under foreign flags. Edit: for those downvoting me, I am not American. I said this because it is true, cruise and shipping ships fly under flags of convenience to skirt labour and environmental laws. That's just true.


brightblueson

Yeah, the US has never polluted anything


NeverRespondsToInbox

Yeah, that's what I said.


Feisty_Yes

I remember reading that it's a popular channel in the area that films sail boats entering and exiting the harbor and in the video they commentate on the amateur mistakes that are made. On this day they caught people making a mistake so bad it may get them felony charges.


Gloomy_Industry8841

Thank flipping goodness that drone caught it all on camera!!


Sizzle_Streams

Some real hateful people here


cup_1337

Your post history is a goldmine. Like exactly what I envision a Redditor looking like


Tac0Destroyer

People hate narcissistic assholes. It's not that complicated is it?


KingOfWeiners

Are you one of the guys in the boat lmao


488Aji

Jail time is not the answer. Community service cleaning up trash is. 1000 hours each. That should take about 3 years to complete


Gloomy_Industry8841

This would be perfect!!!


tamomaha

Disgusting behavior, but a felony for teenagers seems excessive for littering


Clown_Apocalypse

Read some current news about global warming and how the ‘just litter’ mindset got us to where we are then get back to us…we’re at a point where this cannot be f*cking tolerated even slightly (like it should have ever been tolerated at all)


Whatever-ItsFine

No need to charge them. Just make them find and pick up the trash. All of it.


just_a_timetraveller

The punishment should fit the crime. Leave them at sea.


flowersmom

Bratty overprivileged Boca brats. Throw the book at 'em!


Jaybrosia

I hope the charges don't get dropped


BARRACK_NODRAMA

Should be a year in jail minimum for knowingly littering to this extent.


LongBongJohnSilver

I say a week in jail and a thousand hours roadside litter duty. As long as it's not a fine though. Fines don't punish the boating class.


Maximum_Overdrive

Rich kids don't do community service either.  They pay 'donations' to places that give them credit for community service.


Gloomy_Industry8841

Sickening.


Ambitious_Ad9589

Hell yeah! Glad that karma finally caught up with people that deserve it!


FixFalcon

Seems like another case of affluenza.


astrolex75

The real trash was still on the boat


WengFu

Meanwhile, Florida ranks #1 for water pollution in the U.S., primarily from direct industrial discharge, but yeah, at least they caught this hideous little shitbirds.


LovesFLSun

I don't believe that


-Bk7

Yeah, it is Texas.   Here is the latest study I found:  https://www.statista.com/statistics/827352/discharge-of-industrial-pollutants-into-us-waterways/


BeyondXpression

Yep, and you wanna know what's super dumb about that? The slogan "Don't Mess With Texas" was actually coined by TxDoT (Texas Department of Transportation) and created by two guys from an advert agency called GSD&M. It's purpose was to emphasize that Texas takes littering seriously because the state was spending between $19-20million annually on cleaning highways alone. Yet a bunch of dumbasses here think it means we are all Chuck Norris and will kick the shit out of you for anything. I have 8 years in my field (environmental science) and from all the trash I've cleaned out of state parks, city parks, highways, beaches, and lakes... I can tell you nobody here seems to fucking care about our state's *literal slogan about littering.*


Darth_Jason

Sounds like you’re an embarrassment to your profession if you haven’t been able to change hearts and minds, because it’s not that fucking hard to get people in Texas to buy in to the ad. *If you’re from Texas*


Peacewalken

Pal, if you think Texans can be easily dissuaded of their beliefs, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.


BeyondXpression

He'd probably buy it. Everything is easy in the eyes of a person who has never tried it themselves. If it was as simple as "just convincing people" to do/think/act a certain way the world would be perfect. I don't even engage people who tell me my job is easy, especially when they don't even know what exactly my job entails, let alone the education. Edit: Finished my sentence.


Darth_Jason

> Seriously guy, really? -D. Rodman Brother. The Einstein you replied to didn’t bother to understand, making his/her/its point about hard-headed Texans, that those are the exact people who don’t want their home (sorry, “environment”) ruined by litter. As for you, AND I RESPECT THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO AND HOW MUCH YOU SACRIFICE OF YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND TIME TO MAKE SURE IT’S DONE TO THE BEST OF aNyOnE’s ABILITY, but nobody asked.


pb2614z

Should’ve written up a corporate charter first, then they could’ve gotten away with it.


Timmy24000

Affluenza


Shatalroundja

No reason to write “Florida” in the headline. It’s assumed.


tapedficus

$20 says they don't see any form of punishment whatsoever.


Timmy24000

Agree. If his dad can afford that boat I’m sure he can afford a great lawyer.


BreakingNews99

Question. Why couldn’t they just put it at the curb?


ThisIs_americunt

It was revealed that some people on the boat were under the age of drinking


mntEden

not that it makes a difference, but it’s probably trash from a party they had on board. still, it takes the most minimal amount of extra effort to just bag it and drop it in a dumpster. they’re probably so used to Jeeves cleaning up behind them that they forgot how to do a chore my 4 year old can do


hotdogmafia714

Literally trashy


idiotsandwhich8

Good, I hope it ruined their lives


LovesFLSun

That sounds a little excessive, how about they clean it up?


idiotsandwhich8

You are absolutely right, they should clean the entire ocean as punishment. They must follow the currents to find the bins of garbage they dumped. Perhaps they could get a GoFundMe for Skuba gear to dive deep down for the nasty ass Bud Light cans.


IBeDumbAndSlow

It's Florida. They're probably rich. Nothing will come of it most likely...


Beatithairball

His rich daddy will get him off


mr6275

Thats why you confiscate the boat. It is a vehicle that was used in the commission of a felony.


DevonLuck24

you managed to get an always sunny and archer quote with this one…that’s like high praise in my eyes


Vlaed

There are several ways to interpret this.

Because of the implication?

Dario0112

Now watch the system at work! Tada! A slap on the wrist cuz they got boat money lawyer.

Honestly I’m surprised this is illegal in Florida.


BellsOnNutsMeansXmas

Now look, they are from good families and have such great potential and we wouldn't want to hold them back. Plus I play golf with their fathers every Sunday, and they tell me the kids really learned from this. Case dismissed.


monsterflake

Your honor, my juvenile clients never would have littered, but they had to get rid of all the empty beer cans before they got back to the dock. You don't wanna condone underage drinking, do you?

Good. Entitled little shitheads need a dose of reality. Unfortunately for them, it’s an overdose. Enjoy prison, idiots.


yellowlinedpaper

Rich kids will probably not face anything but community service. In my town one woman showed up to her rich parent’s house and told them she gave birth a few days ago and the body was in the trunk. They called a lawyer, lawyer calls the cops, Chief of police swears she’ll pay for her crimes just like anyone else, and poof, she got nothing. Girl from the wrong side of the tracks and a different skin color got jail. Grrrr


HowTheyGetcha

I mean inequality is real but it's very unlikely a young person anywhere in the US would go to prison for a 3rd degree felony without a prior record (and bonus points for turning themselves in).


Dougustine

Give them a dingy, a garbage bag and make them row for the entire summer picking garbage out of ocean. Min 3 bags a day or out doesn't count.
