This video shows a seventeen year old guy getting assaulted by a woman at Hammonasset Beach in Madison, Connecticut by Andrea Mears. And I've also included a link to her facebook page in the description below. But it looks like she's taken down pictures of herself so that no one will recognize her face and contact her. I spoke with the guy also known as hogwit on youtube
and received permission to show you his video clip. I asked the seventeen year old quad-copter pilot why he didn't take it to criminal court and he says that it has to be done through civil court. I'm also putting link to the indie gogo crowd sourcing campaign in the description below as well. So far he's managed to raise over a thousand dollars but he's planning on using the money for another issue now. And I'm not sure why that's happened. This is what Hogwit said with regards to taking this is what he told me: "Civil is the only type of lawsuit. There are civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions, one is for crimes only and the other is for loss or damages regardless of the incident being a crime or not. Example: You are at fault in a car accident while driving within the law. You will not be prosecuted for a crime because no crime was committed, however the victim may sue you for damage to their car and injuries (both mental and physical)." This is Hogwit's official statement I found on Photography is not a crime dot com: I went to a nearby beach that is a whopping 2 miles long, setup, talked to some people that were curious what my "thing" was, demonstrated the loiter feature (pulling the quad to one direction or another), demonstrated rtl (flying it away then having it return), and make a lot of people think the quad was just awesome. I never went below 50 feet save for take off/landing, then after the end of my last flight, some crazy lady came over and started taking pictures of me...and dialed 911 for the 3rd time in 15 minutes...she said something to the effect of, "There's a guy here taking pictures at the beach with a helicopter plane." (I distinctly remember her saying, "with a helicopter plane," because that just sounds hilarious.) They basically said that they'd send someone when one gets free during each of the 3 calls she made, she decided they didn't care enough about someone obeying the law so when no one was around she assaulted me and she decided to stop when she got a phone call. I called the police to report the
assault, and boy was the response big...10 or more vehicles arrived (cops, DEEP, and an ambulance)...They first listened to her story of lies (she claimed I was taking close ups of people in bikinis, and that she had asked me to stop flying before calling the police, and that I was the one that assaulted her, and and and). The police approached me very aggressively, believing her full story, and before anything else was said I brought up something that she missed... The fact that the cell phone in my hand has a camera...that was recording. I had video evidence that she went nuts completely unprovoked, and was the one that assaulted me. She was then charged with assault, and breach of peace and I gave the cops a copy of the video for their prosecution.
