Protect yourself from all the government regulations. The best way to manage that is to cultivate a defensive state of mind. Don't waste energy whining and moaning. That is robbing you of your pursuit of happiness and in a sense, you are inflecting more punishment that the law ever will. After 36 years in enforcement, there are some points one should always keep in mind:
1. No one is ever going to prosecute you for putting a little squirt of dish detergent in your 30 gallon herbicide sprayer.
2. The enforcement of laws and regulations in the United States relies on the foundation that most citizens are law abiding. Compliance is voluntary with a threat that failure to comply carries a penalty. For every violation, an infinitely small number will ever be cited. Witness the regulation of motor vehicle speeding. For every citation, millions of violations go unnoticed.
3. Always contest every cited violation. There are numerous avenues in all laws and regulations for legal relief. The most inept attorney can beat back a poorly documented violation. The US judiciary system is intended to protect the innocent but the guilty avail themselves of the same protections.
4. Last and most important. The best defense is a dam good lie.
