I watched him from our porch for 20 minutes. Then I walked down, picked up the log, and said "where do you want it?" When he got his voice back, he wanted the log in the water so it would float away. I decide that was a hazard to navigation, so I broke it across my knee into four parts, and stacked these by the garbage. It was removed by the garbage removal folks the next day.

      It's a bit more complicated than presented here. The case was about importing $15M of lobsters that were illegal to harvest in Honduras because they were undersized. The box versus bag only was an indicator that they have been inspected in Honduras, which they weren't. The government showed a pattern where the defendants knowingly circumvented the Lacey Act, which made it illegal for US citizens to violate foreign fishing laws. Schoenwetter apparently knew he was violating the law and used various methods to conceal this. After the conviction, Honduras reinterpreted their law and filed an amicus in the appeal, but the appeal court majority upheld the conviction, apparently feeling there was _mens rea_. www.eenews.net/stories/1059964426

      "They may conclude too hastily that nature has formed man insusceptible of any other government but that of force, a conclusion not founded in truth, nor experience. Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government." -Thomas Jefferson.

Want to ensure all food handling is done in a safe manner? Did the kids complete food handling safety courses to ensure all dishes were properly washed, dried, and sanitized? Where do you draw the line? Now kids can't sell lemonade without complying with federal, state and local regulations, permits, inspections, etc. Did the lemonade stand have the required number of public bathrooms and handicapped accessibility? Should they?

Imperial Laws made it essentially illegal for peasants to do things like hunt, fish, log for wood, etc. On top of that, it was illegal to get married without a noble's permission, and when a serf died, their 'lord' got the first pick of his estate. All of this coupled with extreme taxation, Imperial Knights (their right to fight honor wars had been overruled, so they turned on their peasants to make up for lost income), and the start of 'radical' Protestantism preaching for emancipation lead to one of Germany's bloodier wars.

    But then I found out you needed a permit to open up a lemonade stand, and that just killed all my enthusiasm and energy for the idea. How was I, a child, going to get a permit just to set up a lemonade stand? Ask my mom? She barely wanted to be involved with it in the first place!
    I still held a lemonade stand, (after all, my mom still bought the stand) it was just outside my house, but I was hoping to do it in a place more public, like in a park, or near a store and meet more people, maybe get a bit more money.

      Well, lets say that frozen lobsters being packaged in bags has a health risk, and the guy has been warned before but decided that boxes were either too expensive to care about it or even worse, thought the health risk itself was a bullshit reason. I mean, as far as I can hear is that he did it for 13 years. The tip was anonymous and it actually broke the first Honduran Fishing Law. Where fish is to be packaged in cardboard boxes. The FDA has nothing to do about that. Since law enforcement took an oath to enforce the law, EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH IT, they must act upon it.
      You know how he could have gotten out of it? By asking for some time to go to court in Honduras and get an official document proclaiming that he could package lobsters with plastic bags. Would have saved him everything, as not even the supreme court is to ignore laws. The Lacey act has existed since 1900 and states you cant break the law in pretty much any country if it involves wildlife, the only exception being an officially approved document that is signed by the national lawyer and approved by the attorney general. The attorney general approved it, all he had to do is read the lacey act and go to honduras to get an official document written and signed by a lawyer, maybe even getting a permanent, individual permit or even get honduras to change the law entirely. But no, instead of taking that option, he tried going further in american court, like the american court has any say about honduran laws, and wasted of his life in prison. Breaking the Lacey act leads to 8-10 year in prison, the AG approval got the court to reduce it to 6.
      Seriously, people, if you need to go to court for breaking a law on international matters, use both countries. American law doesnt go above the laws of another country. There is only so much a judge can do without losing his or her job, and a judge will always choose to keep their job rather than risking it for a guy or girl that sticks to their gut and doesnt read into the law to prevent their case. Blaming american laws for a stupid honduran law is ridiculous.

Putting lobsters in plastic bags and not cardboard boxes? And how much did it cost to have him incarcerated for 6 years?
