Anthony solicits my opinion on the US Customs raid on Gibson Guitar. I haven't clue what is, or what would be going on there. it seems to be over messy enforcement of endangered species tree rules. Even Gibson is not told clearly, and they have been raided before, and they are not sure why.
People who are guilty of something generally do not go on national TV and claim they are raided for no reason, they usually hide behind lawyers. Customs is usually happy to say exactly why someone was targeted. What is the point of enforcement if not to remind people not to break the rules?
The UK and USA have different approaches to rules and regs: USA stresses enforcement, UK stresses compliance. What is the difference? In USA, when there seems to be a problem, swat teams saddle up, assault rifles issued, overwhelming force is brought to bear, people are put out of work, the computers are seized.
In the UK, you'll get a summons to bring your records and make an appointment for a inspection.
Both means yield about the same results.
