Default To All. Forestry Fine Example

Folks, check out this inequality example. I have been reading about quad riders on so called closed forestry logging roads getting fines in the thousands of dollars. Yet a large Forestry Company goes out and cuts a bunch of timber outside of their licensed area. The fines levied could have been up to $500,000. What did they get ? $1500 But wait, it gets better ! They claim it was a mistake, wasn't intentional. Although they lost that argument on appeal, the fine was rescinded ! So no fine ! Joe Quadder can get $1500 for being on a logging road, even by accident ..... But forest companies .... Log away ! I suppose the Martian landscape is kind of pretty in its own perverse kind of way...much prettier on horseback....
