He wasn't sent to jail for collecting rainwater. He was jailed for building dams to impound groundwater without a permit. Dam-building can be a dangerous activity. Collecting rainwater is generally legal, but some states have rules that must be followed.
Even better.. I built a 50 million dollar steam turbine facility in L.A.
The environazi contingent insisted the any rainwater drains be lifted 3 inches above "Grade".
The claim was, rainwater is ours, and you will not drain it simply because of safety issues.
So we ended up with standing water every time it rained, and worker injuries due to "Slip and fall" and tripping on those damned risers.
Common sense is not so common these days..
