A Northern California woman is facing potential jail time after she joining a Facebook food group and sold some of the meals she cooked online, which county officials say is illegal.
San Joaquin County officials cited Mariza Reulas, of Stockton, for selling her signature dish ceviche over the internet. Reulas now faces a trial and possible jail time for her sales.
“It was just like unreal that they were saying you could face up to a year in jail,” said Reulas.
According to Fox 40 Sacramento, Reulas joined a Facebook group called 209 Food Spot where people from Stockton can shared recipes, organized potlucks and occasionally sold what they cooked.
“Somebody would be like, ‘Oh I don’t have anything to trade you but I would love to buy a plate,’ like they’d be off of work.”
On Dec. 3, 2015, someone contacted Reulas online and asked her for her ceviche. That person turned out to be an undercover San Joaquin County investigator in a sting operation to nab those selling food without special permits. Reulas and around a dozen others were cited for two misdemeanors for “operating a food facility and engaging in business without a permit.”
Reulas refused a plea deal which would’ve given her just three years of probation. She was the only one to refuse a plea deal.
San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Kelly McDaniel said that the group was sent a warning before the charges were given.
“I don’t write the laws, I enforce them. And the legislature has felt that this is a crime,” McDaniel added.”
Don’t get me wrong, I believe the food safety is a very serious issue; however, if somebody is stupid enough to buy raw food off Facebook, it deserves to die because it is a waste of oxygen.
However, it is mind boggling to see a ‘sting operation’ in place just to catch somebody selling food.
Curiously enough, the law enforcement seems to be dormant when it’s supposed to really do something for the people.
All the Wikileaks incendiary emails were disclosed for nothing basically.
On one hand we have a woman trying to cash in a family recipes and facing jail for that because she did not have a permit.
On the other hand, we have Hillary Clinton, a Secretary of State who used an illegally set up server, mishandles classified materials, gets the maid to print out sensitive information, is involved in the pay-to-play scheme making billions of dollars and probably selling state secrets to the highest bidder.
And the highest law enforcement agency (FBI) concluded that all the Wikileaks info is more like a witch hunt and Madam Clinton is only guilty for being a little bit negligent.
In other words, nothing to see here, move along.
Is really anybody surprised that the fucked up California will vote with the most pervert, corrupted candidate ever?
Let’s throw in jail kids selling lemonade, as probably they don’t have a food permit either, because the members of the Establishment are too big to fail or be incarcerated.
