I work in emissions monitoring and this is super illegal.

Its only illegal if someone prosecutes them. That isn't going to happen before the purge.

Since when has illegality stopped ~~parasites~~ rich people?

Yup, the “penalty costs” are just costs of doing business. And the richer they get, the less impactful the penalty is so it gets easier to write off.

Specifically which part is illegal? Is it lack of planning permission? Is it an environmental law? Etc.
