Baltimore's PD must be balling if they can afford to send a helicopter unit out just to tell people to stop swimming in a pool.

Helicopter doesn't need health insurance or a pension.

Maybe they were joyriding in the helicopter and got caught.

It does need fuel, though.

And trained pilots. Neither of those things comes cheap. The fact that they're just out for what's essentially a joyride over community pools is a pretty appalling waste of funds.

If anything, this is why we need tort reform. Some dumb kid sneaks into the pool and drowns, and suddenly the city is sued several million dollars.

That is likely to be cheaper in the future. Labor very rarely goes that way, and it's not really easy to "outsource" a lifeguard to overseas.

Our local water park only has like half of the slides open because they also can't hire enough life guards. Of course they're still charging full price for entry.

I used to work there and personally I hope that scumbag owner has to shut that place down for good. Fuck em

Do you really think the cops scrambled a chopper just to harass kids in a pool?

I read the topic title as something they would say in the old Adult Swim pool promos.

No. Property owners are still liable. Here's one state:
