..... whsts going on in CA, but your analogy is wrong...

This is equivalent to a state where it is legal to sell pot for recreational use making it illegal and arresting the operator of a recreational marijuana dispensary.

There is nothing wrong with making an on going activity illegal and then charging anyone who continues to engage in that activity after the law becomes effective. Else we could never have new laws.
