It wasn't the process, it was how it was taken advantage of by the powers that be. The plane wasn't ready to fly and had KNOWN ISSUES before it was flown the first time. The powers that be threw a...

You're right, they are. That being the fact that LEOs are the eyes and ears of the courts. If the judges had to be on the streets, they would probably end up being like Judge Dredd

break a law and, by signing the citation, you agree to appear in court at the appointed time. Once you get to...

IF I read and remember the article correctly, the Police vehicle was almost hit by the R/C which was, by definition, being flown illegally. The pilot was flying it FPV over a residential area and at...

That's why you also file a complaint with the FAA. The 182 pilot is below 1000 feet above the ground AND flying over people and structures. I don't care if he claims he's doing his job, he's...

How was the club president right? Not trying to be argumentative here, just trying to understand your reasoning.
If I had been the president, I would have given the pilot two days, on the third it...

Sounds to me like both sides were in the wrong in this case but, at the same time, the 182 pilot was just "daring" the R/C guys to do something wrong. If it was me, I'd have filed a complaint with...

Still, the CHP 182 pilot would not have the jurisdiction to act on an R/C aircraft being flown too high, the FAA would have to make that determination and call it in themselves, based on the 182...

Okay guys, I've been staying out of this one but, like Speed, I'm going to throw in a quick comment and see where it goes from there.
At this point, we know the following from the posts made so far:...

For the record, you're both wrong. Life experience(all 50+ years of it) has shown me that narratives ALWAYS CHANGE after the first telling of a story. That being said, since Prop brought Franklin...

Been told by someone second or third hand. In this case, it came from a member of the club, meaning first hand knowledge. I will always believe someone involved with an event long before I would...

Feel free. I'm all "eyes" on this one. When you said you were going to "address" my statement, had you said there was more to the story, I wouldn't have made my last post.

that the 182 was at roughly 500 feet
that the R/C pilot dropped to a safe altitude when...
