Under what condition would a law enforcement officer instruct a vessel operator to return to mooring?

A law enforcement officer may instruct a vessel operator to return to mooring if the vessel is found to be operating in a manner that poses a danger to public safety, such as being overloaded, operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or lacking required safety equipment. Additionally, if the vessel is in violation of local laws or regulations, such as navigating in restricted areas, the officer may also require the operator to return to mooring.
