Not at all. I just don't think the cops should be able to pull you over at random whim to check for any number of citation type violations. They can accomplish that with safety inspections (which many states do).
Again, if they're so concerned about life jackets, they could check 100 times more people at the marina and be 100 times less of a pain in the ass in doing so. It's not about effectiveness, it's about revenue and money.
If I truly wanted to ensure everyone had the proper safety equipment, I could check way more people going to and from the water at the slip/ramp than trolling around out in the water.
