In need of legal help!

The applicable ordinance is in the municode for the City of Minneapolis under Parks and Recreation board. It is current as of 2 April 2004, and a quick telephone call verified the ordinance is current and enforcable. Lake Calhoun falls under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Parks & Recreation Board and thus the Minneapolis Park Police not Hennepin County's Park system. Just to be fair I went to the Minneapolis Parks website and couldn't find anything there about scuba at all. Also checked Minneapolis Park Police site and didn't find anything. However, I think most of us have heard the phrase (way to many times) "ignorance of the law is no excuse". I didn't know a permit was required either until this message thread started. It's unfortunate we all are gaining some knowledge at the misfortune of a fellow diver.
