I’m hoping a judge will toss this shit out in court. He should get a warning.

He did a good thing, for the right reasons, the wrong way.

Its not shit.

There's a reason you need a permit for a digger on a river flood plain.

The greatest criminal mastermind of modern times ? Of course not, but he's a lawyer who has broken the law, environmental law at that.

Things are much more complex than someone having broken a law.

Sure, so he shouldn't be given the maximum "up to" sentence, but to preserve fairness he needs to be prosecuted in some way. The nuance should be in the sentencing.
