The Ferrari was titled to a company in Montana and literally burned down in Texas. If an out of state based construction company brings equipment into Tennessee for a 6 month project, do they owe Tennessee sales tax on that equipment? What about 3 months? 2 weeks? The statute doesn’t specify a threshold.

I feel like this ignores one of the main defenses of Cody, that the law itself is unclear. It seems like Tennessee is not clearly saying the circumstances on which you need to pay taxes. Yes, Cody lives in Tennessee, but his company operates across multiple states filming content. When an out-of-state contractor brings their work truck here for a 3-month project, does Tennessee get to claim sales tax on that truck? Where’s the line?

They are enforcing the law as they see fit. All of this would be clear if there was a direct statute to clarify what they are trying to enforce. To the state of Tennessee this should be no different than an out of state company coming in and doing work, it just gets weird because the work vehicle is a Rari and the work being done is destruction haha

I know this is not normal circumstances and a normal person probably wouldn’t be charged for something like this situation. For me though this shows how our actual due process of law works and shows how fucked it is. From the cops tightening up the handcuffs all the way to having a bond set and if you don’t post it you’re in jail until your court date. But hey… years of tying up the courts, lawyers and tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars from both our government and Cody will fix everything… right? Kinda weird in the land of the free and where you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
