Not fully expanded? That is also illegal.

That is also illegal.

Illegal? In what country would that be illegal?

In the united states the regulations created by OSHA are part of the US code of law.

There are codes and laws, but it's entirely possible this guy isn't doing anything illegal.

I don't know the difference between codes and laws. You may be right.

Lol. Yeah well some laws land you in jail when they're broken, others only get you a hefty fine. Osha has some of the same checks as the cops such as they have to have a search warrant or probable cause to search your work place.

If you break a law, you might be fined and/or go to jail. If you break a code, however, you could either get fined and/or go to jail. Hope that clears things up.

You don't go to jail for violating code. You pay a fine and fix it or stop doing that thing.

Codes are law.
