It would also create a way for the local LEOs to be able to use existing federal laws on those that think they are ABOVE THE LAW
Not true if it were not for the AMA no one would be flying anything Period.
All Flying should be exempt from FAA Regulation when flying at a designated fling site. i.e. one must have an FAA certificate to fly anywhere else.
