This is a CLASSIC Prometheus story.

How many times must civilians (of all nations) be penalized simply because of their superior control of technology?

However the point brought up by Clement still remains, what is this world coming to when people are arrested for petty things like that and yet rapists, murderess and drug traffickers are pretty much given the same sentence or a lighter one in some countries.

And almost certainly wasn't running a commercial venture. Even if he was, that seems excessive. Especially considering that he had been applying for the license (if the comments above are true). There should be some sort of conditional use permit if the licensing takes so long. I wonder if it takes some bribe money to get the license more quickly.
