My take on it all?
There are those that believe in the courts and the judicial system
And
There are those who have experienced the courts and the judicial system
From my substantial personal and professional experience, I remain convinced that these two groups are mutually exclusive.
FGD135, I mean you no harm nor insult but if it is your believe that an article by a CASA employee will protect you, then nothing I can say or do will sway your mind.
To put the sword to Aleck's aericle, most of our new and 'improved' legislation is written along the lines of (and this is paraphrasing)
A person in control of an aircraft [doing the thing] commits an offence, unless they [add numerous relevant defences]
An offence of section [] is of strict liability
Penalty units []
The way that rule is written, the way the regulator will prosecute it, and the way the court will enforce it, is - if you did [the thing] then you are guilty, unless you can prove you did [the relevant defence]
Sadly, that's the real world.
Even sadder, many of those "things" don't involve extremes like crashing and stuff, they are everyday activities.
