"Guilty" of Flying the Wrong Pattern?

I often tell students that if you hang around the airport long enough,
you'll see somebody do something stupid. The first point should be don't do
something stupid, the second is that somebody's watching. I guess this guy
makes a third point that if you've got enemies, they'll be watching
especially close. (whether they know what they are seeing is another matter)

I didn't realize you could actually report someone to the FAA for
enforcement action for flying the wrong pattern. We could almost
literally turn someone in every DAY here in Iowa City, simply by
recording Unicom and handing it to the FSDO.

On any given day we usually have at least one doofus (usually a biz jet
jockey, but not always) blast into the pattern "against the grain" (so
to speak) that could easily be busted, under this scenario.

Maybe if more pilots knew about this action, these minor (but
potentially dangerous) infractions would stop?
