A local boat owner told ABC 10News he received a hefty fine from San Diego Police after they said he was renting his boat out illegally.
Vince Vera said he uses the popular app GetMyBoat to rent his boat to small groups looking to be taken out on Mission Bay for a few hours.
Vera said he believes SDPD set him up by making a fake reservation through the app. When he showed up on the dock last Friday for the reservation, he said police greeted him with a citation and impounded his boat, which cost him nearly $800. “We’re getting everybody there and back and being compliant in every way. All the life jackets … all the things they need you to have,” Vera said.
