im not defending that I’m just highlighting the situation and the most likely rational for the lack of prosecutions - because you can’t get prosecuted on the spirit of the rules but the actual rules.
SND hasn’t given detail of his engagements with authority ( no doubt because he doesn’t want a CAA sword hanging over him ) but authority are clearly not minded to change things in this regard because they could have acted already.
