Fuck br/o/s. My friend finally found a milk crate to zip tie to the back of his bike to carry shit. But it has this legal warning as well as the manufacturer's and owner's name on it. I also checked and incredibly, the state I reside in DOES have a law specifically prohibiting unauthorized milk crate possession and use. This is a huge billboard on a bike that one is actively breaking laws.

In Florida, a man was jailed for unauthorized milk crate strapped to his bicycle. So it's not that this is without precedent.

What would you do? My friend really wants to use this crate. But how would a person hypothetically remove the manufacturer and owner's name? It is injection-molded into the plastic. And I believe that would net a person additional charges for obscuring evidence.
