Is the county now down two trucks in one month? Did they ever find the missing BCC truck?

I think the BCC vehicle has made it past Mexico by now and may be in Canada.
Anyone who's lived here more than a few years knows that sometimes sand looks solid around lake outfalls but you can sink to your waist just stepping onto it. Usually happens after it's been flowing for awhile.
Walton Ord 2017-05 (r) It shall be unlawful to place beach equipment on the beach within fifteen (15) feet of the water's edge ... on any regional or neighborhood beach access.
Code Unenforcement should enforce their own code.
Vehicles shouldn't be driving over the outfalls, period.
But since Code Enforcement seems to only do selective-reported enforcement why are they on the beach at all unless they have probable cause?
Would it be lawful for Code Enforcement, WCSO, Fire ATV, TDC Trash trucks, TDC ATV, and TDC to give Vendors permission to drive over private property north of 30A without probable cause or property owner permission?
If not what gives Walton the authority to routinely without-cause drive over private property next to the water or give vendors permission without a declared emergency to drive on private property?
Walton could see all the beach in real time and should take a page from the military concept of “constant stare”. Have 180 deg day/night IR cameras every half mile (52 locations?) or whatever it takes to cover the 26 miles on 50 foot or however high towers on the right of way or public accesses that fed video back to a command post monitored and recorded 24/7/365 by one or two people with software to ID dogs, people [Code Enforcement] too far out in the water, sand pits, fireworks, turtles, outline public and private property boundaries, etc. A faction of the employees and cost needed to do a better job, keeps Walton vehicles off private property unless needed, and on the road for quicker response. Provide public wifi service for a fee to help pay for it. Put the video on the internet like Live Webcam - Seagrove Beach SkyCam | SoWal.com. For much less [than multiple tax payer paid customary-use lawsuits, a surplus helicopter and pilots ($500/hour?)], or an army of code enforcement (at what $40K with benefits a year each?) you could have “constant stare”.
