Consider current ICE's and the president's lawless behavior (and serial Lies) any testimony from a us authority is to be taken with several grains of salt. I would believe a simple fisher over any us "authority"
“If the U.S. Coast Guard's coordinates are accurate—and GPS technology is a standard tool of their trade—then Mr. Lallemand was not only in U.S. waters but was also fishing there illegally.”
No. 45°00.792'N, 073°10.608'W Is by definition north of the 45th parallel that defines the border, it is 0.792’ north in fact, and therefore in Canada. That would make their location north of and outside of the U.S.
If the U.S. Coast Guard’s coordinates are accurate, they were not in U.S .territory at the time of the initial encounter; they were out of jurisdiction, outside of the bounds of the law and in the wrong.
Exactly. The border is at 45°00.000'N, so ANY latitude greater than that is north of the border. If my math is correct, 0.792' at latitude 45 equals 1.46 km (so about 1.5 km and not 15). That's just under 1 mile (0.91 miles).
