The last paragraph in the AOPA article has the following:

"Although the breach of peace arrest warrant that was ultimately filed
refers to a 'No Fly Zone' neither the federal nor local authorities could
cite a federal violation because this was not a 'No Fly Zone.'"

Now I ain't no lawyer, but I've seen them on TV, and it looks to me, based
on the above, that the warrant was not valid and, thus, the charges were not
valid and, therefore, would be dropped without any agreements from the
pilot.

I wasn't there and don't know what he went through, but my gut says, "Sue
the *******s!"

Also, I will not comply with any local law enforcement demands that I land.
I will, of course, comply with the FAA or a military interceptor...

Gotta love this: "Fleming waited outside the courtroom Aug. 21 as his
case went before the judge. When his attorney returned and said the case
would be dismissed if he agreed not to take any legal action against
Darlington County law enforcement, he said, he reluctantly agreed." In
other words, "we will stop abusing our authority if you don't challenge
our abuse of our authority."

This type of thing probably would never happen in an area where there is
real crime. However, in a low crime area you have "wanna be cops" who get
tired of eating donuts at the coffee shop, and overreact to every
incident.
