You know why right?
It’s because they don’t want you to test the water and find out all the shit they been spraying in the sky….
Plausible but doubtful.
Enforcing a ban on rainwater collection is extremely costly at scale and we’ve had enough time and opportunities to test in areas they’re spraying shit. Pessimistically, we’re gonna need much more political power and leverage than a bunch of lab tests.
I think it would be stuff that your basic water testing kits would not test for
Like stuff to make people sick
So even if people were testing it they wouldn’t be looking for the right chemicals….
The state sued him for "theft" 😂
There’s gotta be more to the story… this seems fake or edited in a way to mislead. No way this could be real…
Constitutional rights of ownership
Absurdity taking root...
We rail against snippets in media like this. The outrage!! How could they infringe on our rights?!?
Of course the issue is far more complex. He built huge dams on his property and seeding the ponds with non-native species. The nuance is missed in the tik-tok blurb.
Btw, this was about 20 years ago, 2002-2007.
This is not current news. And he pled guilty to the situation.

Jailed after he plead guilty of creating 3 dams and changing the watershed of a creek. Plus introducing invasive species of fish to his ponds.
This is from 2002-2007. Yeah, really old shit.
There’s more to this story than the tik-tok hit piece.
So this may be tik tok bullshit. This happened in 2012 and it appears that homeboy was building dams. Not capturing roof water. This is one of several articles that popped up when I searched “Oregon arrest rain water”
