Florida cannot prosecute pilots

You don't need to be anything to get in a plane and taxi it around.

Guess I need to do more reading and searching.

When I had my annual done by FBO I would call up during work hours and
a A & E came done to my hanger and taxied the bird to maintenance
hanger. He wasn't any kind of a pilot.

Is this procedure just tolerated because there are not enough FAA
inspectors around or is it a legal thing?

If you're 'not anything' and taxi it around (not instigated by a certificate
holder) it is pretty hard to take any certificate action .. (What
penalties
are applicable to non certificate-holders who violate the regs??).

But if you're 'not anything; and do it "with (a certificated pilot) sitting
there tellng (you) what to do?" what are the chances that (certificated
pilot) would not be held as acting as a crewmember and even ultimately
responsible for the operation of the aircraft?

That's somewhat similar to some people that I know that fly -- without a
medical or certificate. These old-timers say 'What are they going to do,
take away my license?'. Some of them own their planes but aren't legal to
fly, but do it anyways...

Can they be hung for intent? If so, I know a bunch of Democrats that
would be in jail for their thoughts on GW.

Not to mention all the Republicans for what they thought about Bill
Clinton.

In two elections, the entire country would be in jail.
