How long before folks rolling their own are looked at sideways by LE?

We're nearly there. I imagine the suspicion I would be under explaining to some goon that, no, I do not have any social media history to share because I do not have any social media accounts. To answer your question: we're this close.

Seems like you're making a huge assumption that people don't get upset will cell phone recording. If someone is creep recording with their phone or just randomly pointing it at people for extended periods, those people are going to have an emotional reaction to it. Obnoxious assholes are assholes. Stupid glasses, cell phones, or whatever else, asshole finds a way.

Also according to sailing rules wind powered vessels always have the right of way, which might be important in straights like the English Channel or around southern Asia.

It's difficult to take nautical advice from a dude who can't spell "strait" correctly. The "rules of the road" are a bit more complicated than you describe. A ship under sail, for example, must give way to a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, or a vessel not under command (can't maneuver at all). A sailing vessel must also give way to a fishing vessel using nets or trawls.

So no, wind powered vessels do not always have right of way.
