I don’t get it. They charged both boat pilots? That sounds like “we don’t or can’t figure this out, so both of you go to court and let them deal with it”.
Pretty much.
In fact, when someone hit me the cop only charged me. I was shocked because it was clearly his fault. I went to court (I won) but the judge was surprised the cop didn’t charge both of us. So he said unfortunately it will be up to that guys insurance company to punish him.
He/She crashed into tho other boat. But other boat didn’t have running lights on. Both at fault. Let the courts figure it out.
