Lauren Fisher, mitigating, said her client had pleaded guilty to breaching a sexual harm prevention order at the earliest opportunity. She said he had completed all of the unpaid work, treatment programmes and probation service requirements from his last sentence.

So sadly none of that worked. Guess you can only change people's obsessions if they want to change.

Neither did the many innocent people who have been murdered by them. Many were just answering their own door, sitting in their own vehicle, minding their own business when a cop suddenly feared for their life (because they are so scared shitless everything poses a mortal threat to them) and that was the end of their life. No explanation, no reasonable judgement, no jury of peers. Just an executioner who gets a paid vacation after you die

If police are called someone is getting arrested, sometimes that person is the one that made the call. I speak from experience unfortunately.

Don’t call the worthless police unless someone is dying or has been physically harmed. Most situations can be handled better amongst ourselves and they will very likely escalate the situation rather than making anything better much less resolving anything.

They don’t coordinate?

I didn’t say that ATC breaks the law for people’s convenience. The article says that this airport does stay open for unforeseen circumstances. It sounds like the pilot took the slack for granted.

Either the folks in this story didn’t communicate well, or they agreed to risk it at the last minute.
