If they had just regularly stolen under $900 per visit from retailers, they would have been fine. /sarc
hmmm...bottle and cans coming in illegally appear to get far more attention than illegal aliens do
that family shoulda been trafficking people...they woulda had a bonus
No one has mentioned any smart azz comment about Bud Lite. People are getting slow.
This is only an issue because it’s cutting into California’s free money.
How is it illegal? Is there is law against importing cans from out of state? Is it illegal to show up the stupidity of California policies?
Would seem that unless CA had a specific law against that they don’t have a leg to stand on. They would have to prove that the family had the intent to fraud, not just an intent to recycle for the environment. Additionally, it really just shows that the “tax” on cans when bought is the more important thing rather than saving the environment.
Who cares? They recycled bottles and cans period. That’s the goal right?
The article doesn’t specify a law that was violated. Is this something made up on the fly by the courts?
