They could always get a writ from a judge to force the elected official to
do their duty.

Is it worth it? Who knows?

Sounds to me like one DA doesn't want to P.O. the locals and wants to get
re-elected. I may not be Sherlock Holmes, but if there was enough video
to
determine who the cops had to find and arrest, plus Klein and a camera
boat,
there was enough evidence to pursue the case.

But that might not have been popular with the home folks.

Well, I'll tell you one thing. If it was me that was shot at, I'd be
raising cain with that prosecutor. I don't care if Klein was driving too
fast in a no wake zone or not, the only time that a shotgun should be shot
(outside of target shooting or hunting) is in defending the life of yourself
or loved ones. To point a loaded firearm at another individual, then shoot
into the air is at minimum, disorderly conduct.

But is it a prosecutable case? If there were pigeons in the air, he could
say he was shooting them, or starlings and the boat was just in the area.

Only if the DA is willing to put forth the effort. In this case, I guess not.

The DA can prosecute, but he also looks at the chance of success. If there
is a less than 70% chance he wins, he probably will not take the case to
court. And with locals on the jury and possibility of the guy claiming he
was shooting starlings, chances are very small for success. Looks bad on
his record, the loses.

I think a lot would depend upon what is on the video tape.
