Waterparks are a haven for summer fun, but breaking the rules might land you in hot water—literally and legally. While it may seem harmless to sneak in through a hole in the fence or cut the line, these actions could have serious consequences. According to Law By Mike, a popular legal education channel, such behavior can lead to criminal charges.

Sneaking into a waterpark without paying is not just frowned upon; it's considered criminal trespassing. Even if the park security doesn't catch you, local law enforcement might. As a private business, waterparks have the authority to enforce their rules and regulations on their property. Ignoring these rules could result in getting kicked out without a refund, or worse, facing legal charges.

One particularly stringent example comes from California, where breaking amusement park rules can be classified as a criminal offense. In the video, a scenario plays out where a rule-breaker cutting in line is eventually apprehended and hypothetically faces up to 90 days in jail.

The key takeaway? Always follow the rules at a waterpark to avoid ruining your day or potentially getting arrested. For more insightful legal tips and entertaining scenarios, check out the full video by Law By Mike.
