I have personally wittnessed the arrogance of the BP. Their attitude is you are a POS and we will do whatever we want.
When Groen shined his light at the helo, it was out of frustration. I'm not condoning his actions, but I don't blame him.
All the local landowners want is a little respect, not only for themselves, but for their property. Locals are the eyes & ears and the BP needs to realize that!!
Case in point, my GF lives a mile south of the border. One night, there were two "terrorist" types walking down the road @ 11:30 dressed in all black. She happened to see just the white stripes on the shoes. BP was called and long story short, they had jumped the border and were looking for the cab that they had waiting. Here's the good part. The cab they had waiting was at the border crossing and was sent away by the BP. Wouldn't you think a smart BP think that a cab waiting to pick someone up would raise a red flag ???
Just one week prior, an BP agent was parked across the road from her and kept staring in her windows. She called to complain and was basically told Too bad... so sad.

The old saying: "you can catch more flies with honey" applies!!!
