Secret 'no-fly zone'? Pilot seeks answers after arrest
Robin Fleming, 70, had been arrested for breach of peace after flying his Rolladen-Schneider LS8-18 sailplane noiselessly over the H.B. Robinson Nuclear Generating Station at an altitude of 1,518 feet msl—by his estimates, about 1,000 feet over the power plant’s dome—on his way to search for lift at nearby Lake Robinson. No airspace restrictions were printed on sectional charts; no notam marked the area off-limits. (www.aopa.org) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Gestapo mentality. Power without brainpower.
"Commandeering the airport, shooting the glider down,' sounds like that pig had a sugar high from too many donuts!!!
In all due fairness, I'n not attacking all cops, just the moronic ones like these. That was just STUPID!!!
YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITYYYYYEEEE
"Commandeering the airport”; “Shooting down the glider” sounds more like a movie script rather than reality. It sounds like that the power and authority entrusted to these people as law enforcement officer/s has gone to their head/s and they are acting a boyhood dream.
I certainly hope that he was not a senior member of the department.
1. Who did this officer really think he was? This person is a loose cannon and a liability to the department.
2. Where were his superiors & supervising office?
3. Who authorized such action? Surely it is not a decision made by an officer on the beat?
4. Under what legislation was he acting under?
5. As a Law Enforcement officer, how many laws; jurisdiction; etc they violate?
6. If he acted with such disrespect for the law in the simple matter, what would this do in a high pressure situation? Blow the place up? Destroy the building to the ground to open a door?
In all genuineness most officers of the Darlington County Sheriff Department are decent responsible people, but the problem here is that these few officers involved in this situation and their captain give the rest of the Darlington County Sheriff Department’s a bad name and makes them the laughing stock of Law Enforcement.
When you Google Darlington County Sheriff Department SC website there is no Capt. Joyce C. Everett! You have
1. Sheriff J. W. Byrd who really needs to publicly address this matter;
2. Chief Deputy Jerry Thompson;
3. Capt. Andy Locklair Administration;
4. Capt. John McLeod Criminal Investigation Division;
5. Capt. James Hudson Patrol Commander.
6. Capt. Gary Streett Training Coordinator.
Capt. Joyce C. Everett who are you? What is your role in the department?

Not much seems to have said in the local media when you do a Google search.
Most media outlets do not seem not interested in how their law enforcement works and just AOPA.
Normally the media is all over breaches of Freedom of Speech! This raises the question did Sheriff J. W. Byrd or the mayor suppress the story?

The Double-Secret No-Fly Zone
The cops in Darlington, SC arrested a glider pilot last summer for violating a "no-fly zone" over a nuclear plant. The pilot, age 70, spent nearly a day and a half in jail before he was released.
Here is the thing: There was no such "no-fly zone". The cops made it all up. They lied about the facts and, after finding out that there was no national security violation, the cops charged him with breach of the peace (a catch-all charge that translates to "we know you done something, we ain't sure just what").
The cops in Darlington County knew they had fucked up, because the charges were dropped in exchange for a promise by the pilot not to sue them. Which is not only extortion, it's likely an ethical breach by the county prosecutor.
What a fucking country we live in.

Was there any attempt to publish the story anywhere else other than AOPA Pilot? There can be no supression unless ther was an attempt to publish or tell the story or there was some sort of order that if anyone made details public there would be consequences from the mayor or local sheriff. A beter question is who put the local law enforcement into gear. Whose Chereos did the pilot tinkle in
Mark. These are the questions: was there a cover-up/suppression placed on the local media? Where consequences from local officials if they ran the story. If Law Enforcement place conditions on the pilot, then who else have placed under caution?
It would not have been put on the wire to other media outlet if the locals were silenced and would not have seen the light of day if AOPA had not published their article.
When such a breach of Civil Rights; Usurping of FAA authority; etc goes unreported in the local media, raises questions as to else is not being published; what other breaches of jurisdiction by local Law Enforcement officer are not being reported.
The facts are; Firstly, if nothing illegal had occurred in this incident then there would have been no requirement for the pilot to be forced to give up his civil right to compensation as there would have no case to answer. Secondly, in place conditions on the pilot the department clearly indicates that they know they would loose a law suite.
As with everything there is a chain of events starting with the shift commander and their dispatch commander which has lead to this outcome. Consequently, Sheriff Byrd really needs to take responsibility for what has happened, go public address this matter detailing the chain of events; Who authorized these actions and why; What action has been taken against those involved.
Capt. Gary Streett their Training Coordinator needs to address the remedial action taken to ensure that someone does go off half cocked again.

I understand. I'm convinced I have been speaking Greek lately.
From the sound of things you are from that jurisdiction. You are asking questions that might be asked in a criminal investigation.
If the agreement was to cover up an "illegal" arrest it is not binding on the pilot as the agreement is from an illegal act in the first place. The questions I posed have to be answered if you are to proceed with any investigation into this. It sounds like you have a gut feeling but that is pure conjecture and no judge would give it credence no any standing. The agreement itself may prove to be evidence of a cover-up. My bet is the pilot would rather go flying than sue the town, but that is another gut feeling.
From experience, the problem started with the power plant security folks. I have had run ins with like people before. The power company rent-a-cops over step their bounds often.
