Would it not be fair to say
that police having to warn surfers to get out of the water because the huge mega-fucking-storm Sandy was bearing down upon them was probably a wasted resource?

I class it in the same boat as people who sue the local (beach-based) council because they got "dumped" by a wave whilst body-boarding (body-surfing) and injured to the point of being para/quad-raplegics & thus sued the council for not posting warning signs that such an injury could occur. Trust me it's happened here in Western Australia, more than once.

Smoke 'em if you've got 'em people.

Or.
You could go down the path of one of the clients my missus used to work for.
He climbed onto a railway bridge, dived into the river, broke his neck and removed himself from the bipedal subset of humanity.
He successfully sued the local council because he found that the large signs proclaiming "No Diving - Injury May Occur" (or there-abouts) were facing outwards from the bridge and therefore he could not see them until after he had jumped.

Sad but true-fax!

A woman in the US tried to sue a knife manufacturer
Her argument was that there was no specific warning that the knife was sharp and may cause injury.

Thankfully, the case was thrown out.
