@nomore6167 There’s language in the plea bargain that will limit Jacob’s ability to profit from the crime. It was mentioned in the video in the context of YouTube monetization, but it would apply to any book or movie deal as well.

@LTVoyager They might not have something called a “Lifetime Ban”, but it’s at the FAA’s discretion whether to grant someone a license when they apply. They can turn Jacob down indefinitely, citing his criminal record and poor judgement if they need to show cause.

@youtubesucks-yx6kk Here’s the thing though: if he had met all those conditions, he’d still need FAA permission, because intentionally crashing your plans for the chuckles and clicks is still against FAR (Federal Aviation Regulations). He would have to request a waiver and part of the request has to include a valid reason for the FAA to grant it. The FAA does not consider publicity, marketing, or doing it for-the-shits-and-giggles to be valid reasons. Put another way, the FAA still regulates and has jurisdiction over the airspace. You can do what you want on your own property, just not in the airspace above your property.

I suspect that the helicopter pilot and/or company cooperated fully with investigators, which is why they weren’t named as co-conspirators or accessories. Anyway, I’m just glad Jacob is getting his just desserts. But what happened to the dime bag of his friend’s ashes? That continues to be a mystery. Perhaps he emptied it into the ashtray of the truck and forgot about it. Also Juan Brown’s first name is pronounced “wan” or (if you want to draw it out) “hoo-awn”. The Spanish J makes an “h” sound more or less (while the letter H is silent in Spanish). I hope that helps. It’s tempting to translate his last name to Moreno, but I think I would translate it to Morrón, which is chestnut brown like his hair. Juan Morrón has a ring to it. 😊

@cail171 What is his talent, exactly? Poor judgement and difficulty controlling his impulses is a talent? Or do you mean his skills as a snowboarder when he was a kid? In that case, I suppose he could be a snowboard instructor during the winter season. At least he’d be a productive member of society when there was snow. However, maybe his main talent is “serving as an object lesson”. He seems to be doing that just fine.

@RaccooniusIII He’s not talking about FAR, he’s talking about Federal Criminal codes and how sentences are determined. There’s a point system involved that determines the sentence of the convicted criminal. The min-max sentences are the limits, but a variety of factors, such as priors, can enhance the sentence upwards (but generally not past the upper limit). Similarly, there are factors (such as a first time offense) that can subtract points. All that said, it doesn’t quite apply to the plea bargain. The agreement is under 24 months but over 18 months. If a sentence is under 24 months, it’s unappealable. Jacob cannot try to get his sentence overturned for a lighter one. If the judge approves the deal (and they do in most cases), it will be the at the judges discretion how much prison to impose, between 18 months and 24 months.

@nomore6167 How about you cite the specific federal laws that you say Jacob broke that the U.S. Attorney should have but didn’t prosecute. Then show us how they were more serious than obstructing a federal investigation. If you can do all that, here’s an additional exercise for you: maybe discuss the ease or difficulty of prosecuting for these crimes and overcoming possible defenses Jacob could use. If you do the first two things mentioned in the first paragraph, I think we should listen to you. Otherwise, you’ve pretty much demonstrated that you neither know anything about the law nor do you understand how arguments work. You make a claim (that more serious offenses not related to obstruction were dropped), then you back up the claim. That’s how argument works.
