Sold Adult Toys To Undercover Cop (Business is Within 1000 Feet of House) : legaladvice

Authored by np.reddit.com and submitted by NDaveT

Today I was at work, a 711 type shop, but with pipes and Cigarettes and such, and two guys who were cops came in and bought about $80 worth of toys. The store is within 1000 feet of a residential area and apparently that is not allowed in California. We had no idea of course... The store got a ticket that said they'd appear in court in January, and since I was the one who rang them up, I personally got a ticket as well. My own citation or sorts. I got the job to help pay for Medical Assistant school and I'm worried about this affecting my future endeavors. What did I get myself into? What should I do? The owner apparently had no idea about this code, but how can I say that it's the employers fault and responsibility to know the law, and me being just a cashier, how do I fight this? Is there anything really to fight?

TL:DR, Sold Dildos to two gay cops, now looking at a misdemeanor.

This is so fucked up, its the kind of weird obscure bylaw shit that would be so much better dealt with by an official coming in and telling them they aren't allowed to sell them and asking them to immediately take them down.

Fine them for continuing to sell them, sure, but giving a cashier a hard to pay fine and a criminal record for this shit is outrageously fucked.

I wonder if op would have any recourse against their employer for putting them in this situation?

Wonder if Rocklin has dedicated dildo patrol to catch these sick human beings.

Dildos. I mean Dildos.

Poor guy, but that did make me grin.
