The other stuff about fishing was not the issue, just the ordinance.
The quiet ordinance was developed by all the landowners. The Lodge is trying to ignore it.
I would think the defense would ask the pilot a million times on the stand why he lied to everybody and had no idea what the problem was. They should then ask the Troopers why they failed to act on his lying to them.
Who has governing authority over Halibut Cove? Is there a village council that approved the ordinance? Or basically just a neighborhood agreement?
Assuming it is a legitimate ordinance, who has the authority and duty to enforce the ordinance?
Knowing this might help to understand some of the details as to why the issue was allowed to persist so long.
This is obviously a neighborhood spat that got out of hand. Involving the passengers on the plane was a mistake by the boat captain that will likely sink her ship. (pun intended)
