    The master of a ship at sea as the moral and legal obligation to assist a ship in distress, if they can. There’s no skirting that obligation by assessing the legality of the ship’s planned path.

    But maybe we should also stop rescuing people in house fires, as they might be burglars?

      That’s gotta be the most brilliant way I’ve ever heard of pulling off a burglary. Just start a fire :D

        Practically speaking, not really, because the jail time for Arson is a lot more than burglary.
