@ Shore Guy: very good point. I'd like to see that sort of equipment, too.
@ Surnamer: I am surprised to read the snowplower's declaration at this stage already. Normally, one would expect these kind of things to be said in front of investigators, most likely in the presence of an attorney - and behind closed doors.
Which again leads me to my suspicion that in this country nobody is interested in digging deep and finding uncomftortable truths leading to uncomfortable questions.
Finding a probable scapegoat so early on must be convenient.
