Why do you want AOPA to take notes for you. It wouldn't be used in court it
was all hearsay.

Not in court, for the next program they create, or to expound on it to the
police. They need to get training material for the police, and this would
fall right into that category, i.e. when you notice a guy in a plane with
a key jammed into the ignition and lock picks on him, plus a porta potty
next to the plane, hold the guy for questions.

That's what AOPA should be working on, more training for police and how to
spot thieves about to steal or have already stolen a plane. This would
have been a good example. AOPA could have led the training for police,
that's what I'm saying, they could have used this to create a better
program, not for law enforcement, not for court, not for justice. For a
program like the airport watch, but for law enforcement.
