Narrative:

There was really no problem. I am so paranoid about the FAA's current tactics. 100' hover searching for a dead body. This was a police helicopter flight. The flight was over wooded areas and fields. There were houses nearby. We did not fly over the houses. There was no problem. But I can't afford to take a chance with the current FAA witch hunts.
