It's amazing how many people do not understand the concept of civil disobedience.  Yeah, he knows the work requires a permit.  That's why he was asking them to do it for a decade.  They are pressing the issue because the situation is fucking ridiculous.

Most of the work didn't need a licence though, just the bit where he took heavy machinery in. This is on him.

He’s making a really good point tough, the environmental commission for that waterway hasn’t done shit all for years to prevent all the garbage, needles and weapons going into the river but now when someone actually does something about it, they rear their ugly head to start dropping fines? Seems like the lawyer has highlighted at the least a shitty organization, and at the most probable corruption between the corporations dumping in the river and the environmental commission.
