    In what fucking reality is this an arrestable crime and not just a "swim at your own risk"?

      It's a problem for everyone if a random corpse is right by the city, but just making people leave is enough

          Just having a corpse floating in the water is not great. The government trying to prevent that is a good thing.

            Right but arresting people for swimming pretty much isn't normal at all anywhere I've ever seen besides like.. dams and places where currents are crazy. Are surfers arrested for surfing? This is absurd on its face

              Yeah, that's why I already said the solution is to just make people leave. Most people will just leave if a cop goes "okay, you can't be here. Go home." It's not worth the hassle to try to fight it, but there's no real consequences for the person who was told to leave.
