Pretty unenforceable/unlikely to ever even get caught though.

I know, I just think it’s funny. if I set up a table and started selling them they’d shut me down pretty quick though

In the UK back in the earish DVD days I remember this dud would turn up at my uncles work and sell a fuck a ton of discs, he got arrested in a sting.

police have way too much free time

A pub owner near me also got arrested due to a sting where she was buying “stolen” meat from a police officer

A friend of mine did that with VHS, beta, cassettes, and 8tracks back in the day and got busted by the FBI.

so they want the stolen meat to go in the trash?

Lol plot twist

But really its crazy how many sting operations take place where I live and for real mediocre shit, like police undercover selling weed.

Holy fuck🤣🤣🤣 I thought stings were reserved for violent criminals

Its due to increasing budgets and lazy policing.

The stolen meat one really annoyed me as its targeting the working class while inflation is in full effect

Yeah. We’re just so far away from the point that cracking down on illegal food should be a priority that I find that idea completely insane

i agree that it shouldn’t be a police priority; but i would still not visit a pub using black market meat… i like cheap food, but i love my intestines more lol

No I wouldn’t either and the place was a dive but the meat wasn’t being sold for the pub to serve, police went in there trying to sell to anyone that would buy, the land lady just happened to be the one interested in buying the stollen meat

Who would? You think reps from the music and film industries would shut you down for selling stacks of CDs from a table? Lol. Would they roll up in front of your table in black vans?

Seattle, too. As far as I can tell from my time spent there during multiple years of PAX the only thing the Seattle cops do is harass the homeless and local rappers trying to push their demo albums.
