Pros:

Only problem is I got charged deposit for nothing. Now I'm not crazy but when or how can I be charged for my trash ? My daughter smokes tes but never inside nor around my grandson however she did put her trash in trash from emptying her pocket ok plus she does prerolls but if the person working and your camera will catch myself my business partner and kids going outside several times. It was no smoking in the room so to false accuse off assuming the rule is not to physically smoke not you can't have the materials

Cons:

The fact I was chart for assuming and by seeing trash not the actual law rule was broken. In ex private investigator and one thing I know is the law and no way anyone smelled smoke period now again smell lingers in clothing but yeah I will be dispuythus with my bank and if I have to file or do investigation I will
