Whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea, this is an illustration of bureaucratic one-size-fits-all top down “rule making” by un-elected people who live hundreds or thousands of miles away.
These are not “rules”. They are de facto laws, and failure to comply will result in all manner of sanctions if not jail.
They can’t call these “rules” or “guidelines” or “policies”. People need to understand that. And nobody voted to do this. If they did, it would fail. “Leave our cheese wheels alone”.
It's not just that they're hundreds or thousands of miles away. They're also catastrophically ignorant of the things for which they're making rules.
