He's lucky. These guys were convicted in a civil court in Switzerland for an 'operational event' in which nothing happened (no damage, injuries etc).

When the Human Rights act came in, we had an airman who decided that CO's inspections of his room in the barrack block was an infringement of his right to a private life and, further, that he was the tenant and the landlord therefore couldn't enter without his permission. Come the inspection, his bed-space was a complete tip. He was charged (and found guilty...) not with having a dirty bed-space but with disobeying the lawful order to tidy it up! He was also informed that whilst he might be the tenant, the Stn Cdr was acting as the landlord and had given due notice of the visit via SROs, so he could forget that argument as well. That put a stop to the antics of this aptly-named barrack room lawyer...
