The reckless endangerment charge most likely would have stuck based on a CHP pilot testifying that there was a “ near Miss “. The end result is the same! Granted it’s not a direct path for the LEO and court system to enforce FAA regulations. Like the majority of arguments in this forum you and a couple others want to make claims with no consideration with what happens out in the real world.
Ok. Cited vs. arrested. (it's been a while since that post).

The fact is, that CHP officer threatened to cite you. My stance has always been that the CHP officer has no authority to cite you for breaking FAA regs. Period. It was true then and it is now. Do you disagree?
