Which would be fine if that's how it was but usually when this subject comes up it's because the government is being sloppy, fining first and asking questions later and rake in untold sums before they accidentally fine the guy who meticulously complied, knows he can prove it and has the time/resources to fight them and then makes the news. There's a reason I lumped them in with insurance mis-identifying shadows and whatnot. If the violations were truly meaningful or detrimental then the abutters would have narc'd.
