If a motion for dismissal is requested due to lack of evidence, the dismissal cannot be granted if there is enough evidence to prove even a lesser crime. There must be no reasonable doubt at all that the defendant is innocent for a case to be dismissed.
The entitled snob argued with law enforcement and tried to put his boat in the water after being told not to.

That doesn't make the officer "wrong".
From the Boston Globe
The charges against Romney were dropped several days later and officially dismissed in February 1982 at Natick District Court. At Romney’s request, the judge also agreed to seal the records, making them unavailable for public inspection.
Romney said yesterday that the park ranger had overstepped his authority in arresting him and said the reason the case was dropped was that he had threatened to charge the officer and his agency, then called the Department of Environmental Affairs, with false arrest.
“He did not have the right to arrest me because I was not a disorderly person. This was an obvious case of false arrest,” Romney said. “The officer obviously agreed because he agreed to dropping the case.”
This speaks volumes about Romney's mentality, and his entitled attitude. He couldn't be inconvenienced to follow the law like the "little people" have to, so launched his boat anyway. Then threatened to sue the officer and the DEPA in order to get the charges dropped. After that, requested the records sealed so he could sweep it under the rug.
The average joe in the same situation wouldn't have been able to do anything except pay the fine. And Romney says he can "relate" to the common man. Pfffft!
