Technically governments can't ban anything but they can discourage anyone from doing something by levying massive penalties if they are caught. Which in practice means those without power go to jail for it while those with power can do whatever they want with it.
- 14 6y agoExactly. I recently saw a near by forest tourist area closed off with threat of $143 fine. I thought damn I have that cash I could literally go for a private picnic in the woods worst case is $143. I can afford that. Then I realized that mentality must exist to a greater extent with the rich. Park where they want and just pay the ticket. Ignore rules and for anything and perhaps just pay a fine.
