What should you not do when approached by an enforcement boat?

When approached by an enforcement boat, attempting to evade it is not appropriate behavior and could lead to serious repercussions. Evading an enforcement boat suggests that you may be trying to conceal something or are unwilling to comply with the laws and regulations that govern boating safety. Law enforcement officers are tasked with maintaining safety on the water, and they may be approaching for a routine check or to address a potential violation.

By choosing not to evade, you demonstrate cooperation and respect for the enforcement process, which can lead to a more favorable interaction. The proper actions to take include slowing down, preparing to stop, and following any instructions given by the enforcement personnel. Additionally, being prepared to show identification is a responsible action that aligns with the expectations of law enforcement on the water.
