The proposed new offences relating to low flying and causing annoyance, provide that they may be committed intentionally, recklessly or negligently, whereas the current offences require intention or recklessness, which are generally more difficult to prove.

Incidentally, the death penalty as a possible punishment for military offences was removed 7 years ago, by the Human Rights Act.
