"Police Are Interviewing the Pilot?"

A light aircraft has crashed near Sale, all on board are OK according to the ABC.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems...9/s1742181.htm

I note the ABC report contains the phrase "police are interviewing the pilot". Perhaps I'm a little sensitive, but, if this is true, I have to ask the question, to what purpose are the police interviewing the pilot? The implication seems to be to ascertain whether an offence has been committed.

Leaving aside the obvious question regarding police knowledge of things aeronautical and accompanying regulations, I've been 'interviewed" by the police at YMMB after an "incident" because they seem to tag along every time the fire brigade is called. It is not pleasant to have to give name and address and description of events even if the police are on their best behaviour.

Am I just wasting bandwidth or does anyone else share my concern?
