Wow, $250 whole dollars!
#I know the city can't technically fine them more than that for a first time offense but still#the actual permits to remove or trim the trees are significantly more expensive#and what's really fucked is that a LOT of things are like that in LA#it's considered the cost of doing business to sell food from a truck without a permit#because actually going through the process of licensing is way more than the fines#and it sucks because for a normal person who generally tries to abide by the law you'd get screwed#crime actually does pay here and it pays well#and you have no idea how much I detest saying that because California gets shit on for being so blue/liberal by the conservatives#so I absolutely hate giving them any sort of ammo#but frankly California has massive fucking problems with the way this state handles crime#I'd get fined more for being slightly too late in crossing the street at the cross walk and I KNOW people who HAVE been fined out the ass#for that exact thing#we need actual fucking consequences for companies that break the law#steep fines that actually get used for something good like oh I don't know#MAYBE ADDRESSING OUR HOMELESS CRISIS? so people aren't y'know dying on the street#California may be a blue state but frankly our state and local governments don't care about us any more than any other state's government#we have to FORCE them to care otherwise we're gonna see more shit like this
