We don't have to throw them into the water, we have other options.
1. Cuff them to the pier until the DNR guys show up. I have 150 lb test wire I use for shark leaders that would make excellent handcuffs.
2. They can hold on to all the floating trash in the water that has spilled from the overflowing garbage pails on the pier.
3. I have a pier gaff that we could use to catch-and-release them if they fall into the water and can't swim.
We have options...
