Okay, I have to admit that I am not very familiar with the US legal system and I’m not even sure if not responding to a distress call actually is a felony. Also, if it is a felony, can you sue somebody over it? Or do you press charges against them and the district or state attourney has to prosecute them? I guess all those years of watching TV shows about American lawyers weren’t as useful for my legal education as I thought.
