Check your state's constitution and find something matching basic human rights and then just say you "have an exemption according to article x section y sub section z." These colossal retards don't even question it.

If you're in Florida, say Article I Section 2 or Article I Section 23.

I quote federal law all the time. The last thing anyone wants to hear is "I'm from the government." You can make it up as you go if you just read a little and learn bureaucrateeze.

I had to get an apartment complex to replace a leaking air conditioning unit. The manager told me they would do the bare minimum to keep the unit working till the lease expired, so suck it up. I quoted federal law and EPA regulations to them. Basically it says that if they knowingly refill a leaking system it's a $10,000 fine paid to the person who files the complaint.

I didn't lie, I just left out the part about the minimum tonnage of the unit and the amount it could leak annually.

Apartment managers are stupid. It was replaced that afternoon.

Nicely done. Suppose if we’re going to live under the yoke of an absurd regulatory system, might as well use it to your advantage once in a while.

You did the right thing, and if I were living there I'd be so happy for what you did.

Thanks! I live in FL and I have to wear that stupid mask to get into Walmart. I wear one of those cyclist masks which is good for dusts and these d-bags are ok.

If you ask local officials, nothing as they believe their mandates are last say. There's probably more you could use but it doesn't take much for people to leave you alone. But here is the Florida Constitution:

I just realized I need to read my state Constitution.
