But the state fair and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CFDA) still demanded the mother return Cedar, with the fair’s chief executive officer reportedly emailing her that the decision was meant to teach “our youth responsibility.”
This seems to be where the whole story went off the rails, because until that point she was paying the guy who bought it back and he was on board with that trade.
I get the principle point they are coming from, but it also seems like a bit of overreach for them to be involved to the extent they went to from there. Mom is a retard, but the levels they went to to create a problem and then solve it like they were heroes paints the government as a far bigger bad guy in a story where there wasn't one prior.
The phrase "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" holds true because too many people are weak and don't have the willpower to punish liars and rule breakers because it makes them feel bad, and they make other honest citizens put up with their bullshit and do the hard part.
They're right, she needs to be punished to make it clear for next time that being honest is not only the right thing, but also the easiest thing. Since the bitch and her ilk are too dumb to know right from wrong they can at least learn which option hurts less.
You're right. I messed up the timeline there and that changes things considerably.
I still think the fact that the Cali cops can mobilize this quickly, happily, and easily over a nothing burger but gleefully let all sorts of other crimes just go unpunished is still an issue.
Stealing it was, but stealing wouldn't have occurred without the government shoving its nose in someone else's business. She is 100% in the wrong from that point on, but she is one retard.
The CFDA and the entire police force is a mass of people who all agreed to massively overreact (and waste tax money) on a non-issue simply because they said its the principle, despite Cali government and law enforcement having 0 principles elsewhere.
I don't care about this event. I care when this same set of actions is used again on someone who is innocent because a precedent has been set for this overreaction.

She stole it first, then tried to negotiate.

It does not matter what they agree on after the fact. What happened was the severe violation of the law.
