Yeah, this is largely about regulatory law like selling the wrong colored bunny or laying a foundation in a technical wetland. Its not something that can be used by a murder or rape defendant.
“or laying a foundation in a technical wetland.”
And their definition of a wetland is not a layman’s. And the things that ruin a wetland are not what most normal people would easily recognize.
Some of the wetland stories are simply horrendous. And the fines are out of all proportion to the violation. I place them in the class of cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail.
These 38,000 a day fines.... its time this country stood up to them.
And you are correct, it is regulatory agencies. The legislature writes a law, the agency puts out the regs. The Legislature huffs and puffs and says how this was never intended. And nothing changes.
