Lone Star Law

Game wardens race to confront reckless jet skiers who are wreaking havoc at a busy boat ramp, endangering users and damaging property. In a separate incident, a crabber turns hostile when officials catch him operating without a valid fishing licence.

Wild Riders is a television programme presented in an episodic format, focusing on the everyday duties of those who safeguard our waterways and coastal environments. Each instalment brings viewers into the practical side of marine and riverine enforcement, and it's a concise look at the challenges faced by the personnel on the front line. In this particular episode, game wardens are called to a bustling boat ramp where a group of jet skiers are behaving recklessly, creating a hazardous situation for both boaters and other water users. The officers sprint to the scene, intent on confronting the riders and putting an end to the disruption they're causing. The jet skiers, ignoring safety regulations, weave at high speed across the water, endangering nearby vessels and increasing the risk of accidents. Their disruptive conduct forces the wardens to intervene swiftly, showing they're dealing with pressures and quick decision‑making required when handling dangerous recreational behaviour on a busy waterway. A second confrontation unfolds when a crabber is discovered without a valid fishing licence. Upon being approached by the authorities, the crabber reacts aggressively, turning hostile and escalating the encounter. This incident highlights the tension that can arise when they're caught breaking fishing rules and are challenged by enforcement officers.
