" The police chief said the suspect will likely face criminal charges for the deaths in the helicopter crash."
I cant't believe it! Isn't the pilot the final authority regarding all aspects of flight due to the FAA AIM?
Is a clebrity also responsible if a paparazzi gets hurt while trying to get a picture?
I sincerely doubt the charges will stick, if in fact they ever are filed. It sounds like the police chief is using this as a smoke screen to divert attention away from the department's vehicle pursuit policies.
