YOU REALLY NEED TO FACE THE FACTS PORCIA, THE VIDEO IS DAMNING EVERYONE SHOWN IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have one person, PUSHING his jet past the stop sign while the defendant taxis his past it without a second thought. You have a crowd of people, many of which are almost assured to be AMA members DUE TO SITE REQUIREMENTS. You have the defendant pilot bragging about flying almost 100MPH over the speed limit and putting that in writing in the video. Let's put this into a context that anyone WITHOUT KNOWING THE SAFETY CODE CAN UNDERSTAND:
1) Running a stop sign= traffic citation and fine
2) Exceeding 20MPH over the speed limit= reckless driving, punishable by jail time, fine and possible loss of license and vehicle impounding
3) Possible driving without a license= punishable by jail time, fine, loss of license or right to obtain one and vehicle impounding
4) Video evidence in court= slam dunk conviction
5) Allowing operation of a vehicle outside the law= guilty by association

These are not made up statements, they are known fact in every traffic court in the country. We know the first two are shown on video so there is no doubt they are fact and would be prosecuted accordingly. The third is an unknown but, if he doesn't have a waiver, it's then a valid argument. The fourth we all know is a fact since dash cams are now admissible as evidence in every state in the union. As for the fifth, ask any bartender what happens if someone, after drinking a beer or two, gets in an accident after leaving the bar the bartender works at. Here in Washington State, the bartender is guilty of a crime as well and faces jail time, just like the guy driving the vehicle while intoxicated. Just for the record, most states have a BAC limit of .08%, low enough that some people would be considered intoxicated after one beer or mixed drink.
I'm not going to touch the flying in restricted airspace since Franklin already covered it but that would be looked at as trespassing. Some government sites make trespassers subject to eating lead, not just being subject to arrest and incarceration
