Interstate travel is a fundamental right but the right to intrastate travel, whether by motor vehicle or watercraft, is a privilege. The CMRD Unit has authority to enforce the law on Lake Erie within Cuyahoga County extending to the international boundary line between the United States and Canada. Crim.R. 11(A) allows a trial court to enter a not guilty plea on behalf of a defendant that refuses to plead. Appellant's convictions are supported by the manifest weight of the evidence, subsuming the sufficiency challenge.
