I don't understand why they just didn't buy permits before they entered the state of california? California permits are cheap! If i remember correctly they are less than $20. CA you can travel from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset. Night time and weekend travel can be granted if asked for it. but even with permit, they need to be properly flagged and have 360* flashing strobe. Which I'm sure these guys don't have.
