I wrote to Chevron via their website contact my explanation and apologizes, they just did not answer to me. It is resonable price for me if he will stop it all. To everybody: be careful. Step left, step right, any your unstandard behavior can be reason of a lot of troubles. Be careful.

Hi again! Update: I returned from vacation and hired an attorney (it is $2000 for pre-trial stage). I hope there will be no trial as attorney predicts.

I wrote to Peter Sachs. He asked me to sent to him a scan of letter from court, afer that answered: "It appears to be a simple trespass offense, and the drone part really has nothing to do with it, legally. At most it would be a fine ...", and advised to hire an attorney in LA - may be even...

Oh that is better. Because I was very nice with guards and cops. I answered all questions, did what they asked and leave.

No, I just had a conversation with police, conversation with detective in police office, with FBI agent by phone. Now I have court date Sep 18 - they sent it to me by mail.
