I understand why the mp did what he did, and I understand the law is there for our saftey (although I don't support the law, just like seatbelt and helmet laws), but I have seen the mp's ignore to many other saftey violations to support them on this one.
Your assessment is right on target, however:

Without having a a reckless boater in sight, the MP should be expected to enforce ALL of the laws: They should not be expected to pick and choose which laws to enforce.

Sighting a snorkeler without a flag, they cannot be expected to determine "which wife" belongs to "which dock", either!
