Probably for operating an unregistered watercraft or not having a transponder. The kind of things maritime law requires for stuff like not getting shot be some idiot, not being IDed as a naval mine by the Navy, search & rescue, not hitting other ships, customs and border enforcement, etc, compelling border compliance, etc. There's a surprising amount of rules for doing stuff in the ocean.
Edit: apparently the vessel isn't technically seaworthy, there was a hurricane evacuation notice in the area, and he also threatened to kill himself and claimed to have a bomb. All of these things are usually guaranteed to piss off the government to varying degrees.
It does male sense! I'm not very familiar with maritime laws but it seems fair. thanks!! :)
I recommend maritime lawyer Chareth Cutestory. He's well versed in maritime law
Biden has truly turned this country into a communist dictatorship, even people trying to escape by homemade boats get scooped up by the coast guard and brought back. We’re living in 1984 and animal farm put together.
