A loophole enables the generators to be used for 364 days without a permit.

    So, if we know this is happening and we know where… why don’t we peacefully protest with some highly flammable, totally innocuous items on us?

    Should be illegal, but they are doing it legally by exploiting a loophole. Disgusting.

      Just like people never really sell drugs. Instead the person donates money to someone & they donate something back. Do you expect the court to accept that argument? If not then don’t let them get away with similar arguments.

    So they…… complied with the law. How is that illegal if it’s legal?

      Saying t’s illegal is a better headline. Also, I believe it was illegal, you just have 365 days to comply before legal action can take place

        You could just swap them on day 364 and claim they’re a new installation. Or just say you swapped them.

      I hate these misleading headlines. It is just so justifying to the magats when articles like this are touted against them. They do plenty of clearly illegal shit, lets stick the headlines like this on those other cases.

      I’m surprised that I’m surprised.
      It seems to be a default state nowadays.
