The Brandenburg Water Police have got their eyes peeled for those breaking the rules with their speedy boats, employing high-tech laser gadgets to keep everyone safe on the water. A spokesperson for the force admitted they're aware of sneaky tactics boaters use to warn each other about incoming water cops, but they're not easily fooled. "We know about these 'advanced warning' shenanigans," the spokesperson said. "It's all fair play to us, as long as it's sportsmanlike, just like those speed trap alerts on the radio."
Boater-to-boater alerts are typically shared via cell phones, like WhatsApp groups, when one boat-driver spots the police out and about. "When we sense their presence, we warn the crew in our network," a boater stated.

Using Lasers for Speed Enforcement
Laser devices are commonly used by police forces for speed enforcement, but specific details about their use on lakes in Brandenburg are not publicly available. However, violations, even minor ones, can lead to hefty fines due to the danger to other water enthusiasts and the environment.
The Brandenburg Water Police's employment policy includes the utilization of technology, such as high-tech laser gadgets, for enforcing community policies on the lakes, particularly to prevent dangerous speeding by boaters. In the very same vein, boaters on Brandenburg's lakes often use sports (referring to the WhatsApp group as a sport of communication) to share alerts about the presence of the Water Police through their cell phones, forming a sort of 'employment policy' among boaters.
