On a positive note, he isn't a pilot.

Crazy. The guy obviously has friends in the prosecutor's office. No average Joe would get away with that.

U.S. statutes grant the FAA the authority to fine anyone, including non-certificated pilots, for violating FAA regulations. So in theory this guy could now also get fined by the FAA.

sometimes its the only way to get any sort of punishment for someone when the evidence against them is not good enough for the original charge.

This is beyond absurd. But what do you expect from a culture and a populaton that falls for...
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the...if he...if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not...that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Who says you have to violate something for them to have authority to levy a fine?

Hell id go after them all for obstruction...
Insurance CEO... dodging...insurance rate increase for a DUI. I think that when he applies for new car insurance the company should go after him, the judge, the county AND the state for intent to defraud because in the end, that's exactly what this is, a FRAUD, this is bunko.

Solution.
Abolish DUI laws. Enforce unsafe driving more.

First there is the one all-important prerequisite to establish: he "pleaded no contest to operating an aircraft," so it is now (presumably) legally established he was operating an aircraft (I'll have to look into this; many Bimmers are cheaper than many old airplanes.)
After that there are a couple of possible choices: 91.13(a) or (b), careless or reckless operation, or 91.17 alcohol or drugs.
Yeah, I know it is something of a stretch, but I expect Eric Holder to be made head of the FAA any day now....

So who tells the FAA? Seems to me a large federal fine is appropriate. Who's the FSDO and what's their number?First there is the one all-important prerequisite to establish: he "pleaded no contest to operating an aircraft," so it is now (presumably) legally established he was operating an aircraft (I'll have to look into this; many Bimmers are cheaper than many old airplanes.)

Id also bet that the car fails to meet the rquirements of an ultra light. Id wager that it isn't registered, has no airworthiness, was to low in a populated area has no markings, is out of annual, has no transponder...
And........................ NO flight plan was filed.
:wink2:
Quick.... Someone call the media...
