Agreed. There needs to be serious statistics to back up the claim that it is SO COMMON the case where one wheel off the ground and thus you're stuck -- it's SO COMMON and the effects SO CATASTROPHIC that the punishment is potentially 6 months incarceration (aka ruining most people's lives permanently). I've seen plenty of 4wd vehicles stuck for myriad reasons. How about adding vehicle weight, tire pressure, tire diameter, tire width, tread depth, tread pattern, passenger count, mandatory shovels, mandatory boards, mandatory jacks, to the law??

And to think the rangers WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY to install secret trail cams and then pour over the footage or set up some CV software to auto send such damning letters to those who dare enjoy the national park!

This blows my mind. And these rangers should be ashamed of themselves.
