You see a lot of fake made up stuff of social media outlets these days,,, I ask because PA seems to follow CA lately when it comes to auto regs (usually a few years behind)Any truth to the pic below out there in the land of high taxes and over regulation?

Here it's illegal to paint more than one car per year on residential property, and the car has to be titled in your name according to the guy at the paint store counter. If you paint anything in your garage/shop you best do your best to stay low. Once code enforcement shows up they can find all sorts of things. Most places have something illegal that the right guy can write you up on.
Lots of body shop guys do the wrecked rebuilder thing in their garages for side money and it's not legal to operate a business of any type on residential property either. Evil neighbor lady was running a décor business from her house. I should have ratted her out before she sold the house and moved.
BTW DIY garage paint jobs are how many people do it since it's hard as heck to get a legit bodyshop to do an old car before you die of old age, or they die of alcoholism, drug OD, or file bankruptcy etc..

Thats all some crazy stuff, one would think the homeless/drug problem in Cali would be a much higher priority. Many of us are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZG11UBoj-o

"People are getting tickets for restoring vehicles in their garage" Seems like it should be up to the meme creator to prove this statement. If it's happening that often, it should be easy to prove, right?  I suppose one might "strip down" a vehicle during restoration, with the intent to put it back together. As long as you're not stripping down (stolen) vehicles, selling the parts, and dumping the oil/coolant on the ground, I'd think you'd be ok... As for the drugs/homeless problem, is there a master list of the issues that we can only work on and solve one at a time somewhere? Or are we capable of working on more than one thing at a time?
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Read the link, does not apply to someone restoring a vehicle The term "automobile dismantler" does not include any of the following:
The owner of any premises on which two or more unregistered and inoperable vehicles are held or stored, if the vehicles are used, or intended to be used, for restoration or as replacement parts or otherwise in conjunction with any business of a licensed dealer, manufacturer, or transporter, or in conjunction with the operation and maintenance of any fleet of motor vehicles used for the transportation of persons or property. The owner of any premises or property used in conjunction with any agricultural, farming, mining, ranching, or motor vehicle repair business. Any person engaged in the restoration of vehicles of the type described in Vehicle Code Section 5004 or in the restoration of other vehicles having historic or classic significance.

I always bought a copy of the local zoning ordinances any where I lived. It's cheap insurance to know ahead of time what problems you might be getting into.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Get [censored]. Guess i'd be 100% criminal there too. Last week, our "esteemed" RCMP quite literally drove past THREE infamous, well-documented and well known homeless/addict/thief camps, quite literally overflowing with stolen stuff, drug offences, weapons offences (big in Canada), not to mention all the other offences, trespassing and biohazard dumping included, to shut down a well-loved music-studio/restaurant/open patio (not so open, all closed/walled up and out back in rural land) for not having the proper permits for DANCING. Every other single permit possible, and the one in question actually in the pipeline... VERY law-abiding owner... and the cops, in person, shut them down and forced the place closed. I make a lot ov fun ov California, but i honestly wonder if we have it ANY better here...

I think its going to depend on where you live in the PRC. Dependant on the local collective and if they hold frequent tribunals.

incinerator that puts out no smoke from the bad things I burn so maybe its cleaner. I had hoped to install an incinerator with heat exchanger to heat our home. I generate a large amount of biomass from pruning and brush and tree removal I'd like to use rather than stuff into a green plastic can the white trucks haul away. Unfortunately CA air regs won't allow commercial sale. It's not a problem with the emissions of clean material that make them uncertifable, rather it's the other stuff people burn that really shouldn't (i.e. pressure treated and painted wood, household garbage, used oils, etc.). I've been working on a design for personal use. If it's not sold to the public there is more liberty in design. Found out to beware of "stack checks" should neighbors complain. I'd have to be careful to burn only clean vegetation and would need to "give" the appliance to any future owner of our property, or remove it.

Cities misuse the codes on the books as far as major work. While that law is on the books, it is going to be rarely enforced. I've had my own problems with code enforcement, but have not been hassled by them for quite some time. The last guy was stalking me trying to catch me working on my own cars. When he couldn't do that he had parking services give us parking tickets for parking perpendicular in our cul de sac. That apparently got him fired for harassment. His parting shot was sending PD out to find out if I was running an illegal business. That was in 2006. And, yes, I became more knowledgeable of the municipal code than anybody working for the city...
This also happens in many places other than California...
