It's different because if you give a "free pass" to anyone in the pool, it is more like a speed trap where the police posted a sign a mile ahead of the radar location announcing the fact that they are checking speed ahead. In the case of the pool mooch, as soon as they see any sign of enforcement, all they have to do is slip into the pool until the pass checker goes back into the building.
