You have done nothing wrong, say at sea in the Gulf of Mexico. A Mexican vessel (coast guard) approaches, and wishes to board you, and does. Do you attack the boarders with sticks and knives, or do what they ask you to do? The authorities in the scenario ARE AT FAULT for boarding you in the first place—do you attack them, yes, or no?

A simple question.
In the Gulf of Mexico? Well first I'd look around to see if I'd be in the middle of the oil slick and if so I'd be very carefull about throwing any matches in the water.

Then I'd ask the Mexicans if they have any good tequila and mujeres waiting for me at the home port and upon receiving a positive answer I'd let them tow me to the home port.
