Replying to Cant you just say no?

if a resort employee with the power to take your pass asks for it can't you just say no and leave? and just come back with a different kit. maybe if it's a tiny mountain they'll see you again but still then what are they gonna do? call the police to search you for it, because you did whatever minor resort policy offense? i was just thinking about it bc last year a dude said he would take my pass if he saw me building a kicker again and the plan next season is to build a booter in a out of bounds section under a lift so i'm not tryna get that taken, and what happens if it does get taken? are just out 300-1000$ just like that?
