> The California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s website says that while rage rooms themselves aren’t illegal, smashing up “e-waste” including printers is. It will investigate any rage rooms that smash e-waste and offer a button for visitors to report new rage rooms in their area as an environmental concern.

That's funny, California! I'd be curious to see what exactly is illegal about smashing trash, in particular e-waste. Presumably there is something toxic, but I'm skeptical. at the very least the toxic parts could be subtracted from the smash, but that depends on California's perception of toxic. We all know California has a very progressive view of what is toxic, so I'd assume that's an expansive topic.

Ultimately I would argue this conduct is covered by freedom of speech, but that depends. IF the event is documented with photography, video, or even has any kind of spectator audience... then it's clearly a form of exhibition, and speech.

But even actors performing probably have to obey OSHA regulations, and so it goes...

This is ridiculous.
