I have met and spoken with several coast guard officals concerning this problem of "asshole boaters" who deliberately ignore flags and I was informed that there is no law from stopping another boat from coming as close as they want to you you while a flag is up. BUT, I was told by them that if you video tape the incident and call them immediately, they will cite the boater for "wreckless operation of a boat"
