Yes but my point is that I could have ended up in court on a trumped up charge of recklessness. Since I earn my living flying I feel that it is most damaging to the accused and comparitively pain-free for the plaintif.
My point still being - didn't I have the right to be presumed innocent?
Out of interest I was at least 1500 feet in the area concerned but will in future be ensuring that my Mode C is bleeping away merrily so that the nearest radar unit is recording a rough altitude for insurance purposes. I suggest that others (with nothing to hide!) do the same.
