Ah! Ambiguous? So the courts should decide?

> Their trial, set for mid-April, will decide if they trespassed when they passed through that private airspace.

What's the problem here?

If you read the actual article, you'll see that the courts have specifically refrained from creating legal precedent in cases of corner crossing. I would imagine that regardless of the outcome, the court will refrain from setting any sort of useful precedent.

The problem is the courts haven't decided thus the sheriff is enforcing a law that doesn't exist, as per the complaint up the thread.

But trespassing laws do exist, as do airspace laws. I agree it’s an over-application of the law, but it’s not a law that doesn’t exist.

Like if I broke into Walmart and road a purple bike around while shooting stuff with a flamethrower, I don’t get to say “but no purple-bike-intrusion-arson-law exists”
