Probably Because They Know The Police Are So Often Ignorant Of The Law....

Mr Cupis said he contacted Tesco via Twitter and asked which article of law they were using to back up their policy on the number of fuel cans that can be filled.
He said he was told that a “maximum of two containers" for the carrying of fuel is allowed by law under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and the European Agreement Regulations.
But Mr Cupis said he believed that was incorrect.
"Why are they threatening to report people to the police with a law that doesn’t exist?" he said.
What's the chances of finding a cop who'd even bother to investigate? Especially in Essex!

To be fair, Tesco should just have said "Our gaffe, our rules, do one"

I use little 5 litre ones to fill my lawnmower but there are 25 litre ones available. Two of those are worth ten of the smaller ones and still within the alleged law.

Quite! There'd be no comeback then.

"Two of those are worth ten of the smaller ones and still within the alleged law."

Bizarre!

The interesting plod decision that 'there' trans employees (the variety born male) will now be strip-searching female citizens, may provide the most revealing measure of plod ignorance.
