notice when the cop is checking her license, she says 'we're legal'. He responds, 'you are legal'. Here is what is actually going on. The cop sees the TV camera and knows they are making shine. The license is a license to produce alcohol, all the people on the show have it. Making the shine is not illegal. That's the thing people don't understand about this show.

[@pro_moderngamer4943]

exactly, thank you. so many people claim its fake yet its not it is simply bending the truth to make a show more appealing

[@OutdoorOkie]

Anyone can make alcohol no license needed. It becomes illegal when youre selling it..

[@ythompy]

I'm pretty sure the "I'm legal" comment was in regards to them fishing. But also yes none of this is "illegal". These aren't the real moonshiners, these are people in the legit liquor business with fancy camera work and suspenseful music.

@@Coldbreezed And apparently the shine that popcorn made wasn't special either. If you've watched the clip/episode where Digger and the other actor, Mark, attempt to recreate it they just mix rye and corn runs around 50/50 and call it a success. No special ingredients, filtering, double distilling, or anything.

The cop doesn't care. If he sees them doing nothing he would have to report it as suspicious activity. If he sees them "fishing", that gives him enough reason to just tell his superiors "they were just fishing". Cops don't like paperwork.

[@ep61611]

Moving was the stupidest thing they could have done. If the cop did suspect something, all he had to do was to sit somewhere and observe what they do. Taking off as soon as the husband's boat returned would have been a good sign that something was amiss and that they were moving for a reason - to avoid the law. All he needed to do was to tag behind them out-of-sight and see where they move to - then go obtain a warrant to do a search.

Moving the barge was one of the stupidest moves they could have done. If Johnny Law did suspect something, all he had to do was circle around and wait for them to make a move. Pulling up anchor and relocating suddenly would be too suspicious. They should have stayed there and maintained a more frequent "fisherman" persona. The law will be checking on them off-and-on, and to see them suddenly gone raises questions.

[@geomodelrailroader]

worse he would have killed them because ABC cops are corrupt they will not bother to kill any moonshiner or bootlegger they find.
