re: #544 AemJeff

Yeah, that cop analogy keeps coming up. I don’t like any more now than I did an hour ago. Whether or not it was a legal boarding, the situation does not have the same moral valence of a traffic stop.

See my 406.

I can link directly to the San Remo Manual on the Law of the Sea, citing the relevant sections, as well as a link to the PDF for the US Commanders manual, citing relevant section for you to read.

It is very explicit and clear, but the links in my 406 are a good summary.
