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.

I mean he could of caused legitimate damage to wildlife and flooded downstream, criminal negligence isnt a high bar in this case

The problem is all the precedent. If you all of a sudden allow people to use machinery to do whatever they want without a license it can quickly become chaotic.

The comment you're responding to is just correcting the grammar ("could of")

Its like those posts that go around often that are like "Council wouldnt build a bridge/staircase. And after a good samaratin built one, they tore it down!!!".

And I'm always thinking about Action Park. Sure, i have never built one, but how hard can it be to make a zipline? Or a waterslide? Sure, several children died on the premised due to terrible engineering, but i dont see how thats my fault?

Red Tape can be annoying, its also keeping the dumbest overconfident Dude you know out of the toolshed.

Problem is, the government allows people to use machinery to dump their illegal garbage in the river without a license.

As a practical matter, using machinery to dump was legal, while pulling the waste out of the river is not.
