From the video, it did not look too busy on the water, so I agree that they should have been able to follow this individual and have the local police waiting for him where ever he decided to land.

This is what I was thinking. As Dad used to say, "you can outrun a car, but you can't outrun a radio."

After a bunch of high profile deaths, it's standard practice for many police departments to avoid high speed chases unless they believe the suspect is a danger if he gets away. Illustrated here with all boats obeying the no wake zone, haha. Obviously, in this case, he was not going to get away.

The part I found funniest in one of the accounts is that they both (perpetrator and MP) slowed down to no wake speed when going through a no-wake zone.
