Absolutely agree, however given the extreme disregard for the law in this case it's a shame someone had not stood up for the innocent.
How would you feel now if you had known this individual and were aware he had such an irresponsible attitude? Would you be asking yourself if you could have prevented the tragic accident?
How many times has this fellow got away with it, and had it not happened when it did, when would it have happened? It seems to me it was only a matter of time.
Do we all not have a duty to protect the unwary and to protect GA from additional red tape?
There is a big difference between 'policing' and taking positive action in cases like this.
