What really is most upsetting and shows what an ass the legal systems are, is that as a pilot in command you are assumed 'guilty' until you have proved otherwise. Twice I have been investigated and hounded by the authority until in both instances I was able to prove quite clearly my 'not guilty' verdict.
But this was after days of harrassing questioning and an attitude by the investigating officer that one way or the other I was going to be found guilty of the aledged offence. In both cases the 'reporter' was not subsequently charged the cost of the investigation.
Investigating officers ought to present a copy of 'Kiplings' poem so very well presented above to any 'reporter'. That may well save aviation, and therefore us from even more expenses and the harrassment.
