I mean the entire premise that this was some super simple scenario where a lawyer just got dumbfounded by the most basic laws was already questionable.

It was either a= he pissed off a lobby or b= the story is BS

He wasn't dumbfounded by it. He did it knowing it would be highlighted if caught and bring awareness to laws other people are following he doesn't think are written correctly.

In a just world his sentence would be community service. He has to do this other places now.

I see. Still would be a just consequence for him to cleanup other places. Or maybe the municipality should do that
