If they don't hang this guy, then they will never get anywhere with enforcement...

" In addition, even though the sUAS pilot indicated that he knew there were frequently helicopters in the area, he still elected to fly his sUAS beyond visual line of sight, demonstrating his lack of understanding of the potential hazard of collision with other aircraft. In his interview, the sUAS pilot indicated that he was not concerned with flying beyond visual line of sight, and he expressed only a general cursory awareness of regulations and good operating practices. "

And thats a whole 'nother can of worms right there. Outside line of sight is not model aviation by definition - well, until that definition changed somehow, by someone.

But I agree with you - they should prosecute the guy.
