re: That wacky California. New 2018 laws that are now on the books.

Few thoughts:

---

A landlord can face civil penalties for threatening to report a renter to federal immigration authorities.

Solution: Don't threaten; just do it (no offense to Nike).

It now takes a warrant from a judge for federal agents to come to someone’s workplace on an immigration raid, and employers can be fined for not giving workers a 72-hour notice that those agents will be inspecting employee records.

---

Umm, that's not how that works. Typically, raids don't involve notice. Also, federal agents don't need a state warrant to do their jobs; they tend to have FEDERAL authority to perform their actions.

Now I guess owners who call in the feds or work with them can be in trouble, but it's not like they can't get around it with an "anonymous" tip.

---

California schools can no longer deny a lunch to a child whose parents haven’t paid their meal fees.

Then why will they ever pay it? I'm guessing there has to be some wiggle room (i.e. the lunches are bologna sandwiches only or some other cost-cutting measure).

This isn't a judgement call on the students or their parents; just an observation on human behavior and the lack of forward thinking by government.
