Default Busting airspace question

Besides they do keep a record as well.


Think like a lawyer. Radar provides position and distance, but that
is all. To determine whether or not a pilot has entered Class B
without authorization, you also need a way to determine the boundaries
of that airspace, something that radar does not provide.


The radar provides your lat/lon.



And you must
show that all the information available to the pilot specified the
same limits as whatever source was used by ATC.


The class B is well defined and is not a matter of contention.

Rest of drivel snipped.
