SD residents can face 6 years in jail for washing their cars

If this is true, the person with the bright idea should be lined up against a wall and shot.

Go back and read the url of the OP's "source" I think that should make clear the validity of their claim.

One person does not a line make. And we don't do "up against the wall" in the US when we don't like a city ordinance. We vote out the people who passed it and get it repealed.

I've done "up against the wall" before when I didn't like someone. But we liked each other better afterwards, so I guess it all worked out.

I've done it too, and now I'm registered.

It's totally true you guys. I was washing my car and before I knew it I was arrested, tossed in jail and abused by an Illuminati United Nations lizardman police officer. I only got out because I always carry a copy of the Constitution in my pocket, and when I pulled it out the lizardman burst into flames and fled from its righteousness.

lol

Yea, your source "infowars" is a bit of a joke. Is there any real source to support this?

[Sdaeriji]

I wish I was kidding: http://www.infowars.com/san-diegans-face-6-years-in-prison-for-washing-their-car/

Right in an effort to bring some sanity to this: No. No.

Specifically, it's not EPA-mandated, it's a San Diego mandated thing. If it was EPA-mandated, then why the fuck limit it to San Diego?

And the penalties? Nowhere near as stiff as claimed and certainly not as a first resort.

Man, CToaN's idea to start reading threads at page 3 is genius. Four posts in and I already know how and why the OP is full of shit.

I grew up in San Diego. What with it technically being a desert and all, I can totally see that as being the case.

Growing up in Northern California near where all the water comes from, I too would like it if Southern California would conserve water...which, to be fair, in recent years they've at times been even better than we have about it.

But, it is as always a bone of contention between the two halves of the state. I have a bartender friend who worked at a hotel, almost kicked a socal asshole out because he said, "We just want you to give us the water and shut the fuck up."

Yeah, yeah, just wait until the desalination plants are up and running.

... Right after SCAG finds a way to magically power them all.

What interests me is how the power companies are going to have to get around the ban that's coming in a few years on using seawater for cooling coastal power plants. Because they sure as hell don't want to build cooling towers, if its even practical to build them, which for most plants affected it isn't.

Why don't they just friggin' allow the plants to push that waste heat water to desalination plants?

I know part of it is that the intakes kill marine life.... and by marine life I mean pretty much just Sea Lions because everything else isn't strong enough to fight the current and reaches the elevator to get scooped out, while the sea lions fight the current until they pass out and drown.

At least the precious sea kittens are spared.

Are you one of those people that voted that doing nothing is an example of the EPA going too far?

Right in an effort to bring some sanity to this: No. No.

Genius. Though you missed Farn's smackdown in post #2...

Sounds silly, but if anything it is a maximum penalty; minor infringements like first offenses I doubt would be so severe.

It's not, actually. Maximum punishment is your water getting shut off.

In that case, still a bit severe; but that is local government for you.

10/10..... I really like the part where the lizardmen burst into flames.

There are a lot of low-energy desalination methods that seem to be pretty far along by now, though. In a few years they should be commercial, I hope.

The faith in techonolgy coming about to save dry areas rather than hydrofiscal responsibility is a misplaced one. Desalinization plants aren't going to replace the need for curbing waste.

[Dyakovo]

How did you get that from what I posted? The EPA is a Federal agency with absolutely no direct accountability to the American people as it's head is appointed, not elected. With the amount of money that goes down blackholes due to corruption and other factors in Federal Agencies, I, you, anyone could be a very rich man.

Then...this doesn't just apply to San Diego would it?

Also lulz at sodium fluoride being toxic.

It actually is toxic in very high doses...

[Risottia]

San Diegans could face 6 years in prison and fines of $100,000 dollars a day for washing their car in the driveway or failing to pick up dog poop under new EPA-mandated environmental regulations related to water quality.

Although residents of the city are forced to drink toxic waste in their water supply in the form of sodium fluoride,

Conspiracy theory detected.

Bad source, bad argument in the OP, everyone fapping to how terrible the OP is, laughing at LOLbertarians.

Nothing to do here.

You forgot how they tried to subject you to fluoridation.

That's one of the things fluoridation does, it makes you forget things.
