WNYC's Summer In the City Photos Document a Crime

WNYC, New York City's public radio station has a photos of summer in the city. One of the images (shown below) shows water bottles for sale. See the little red band on the water bottles? That's characteristic of bottles brought in from New Jersey which have no refundable deposit which, if I'm not mistaken means it is illegal to sell them in New York which requires a deposit for plastic water bottles.

I fantasize that there will be a first Amendment issue here when somebody tries to locate the seller by issuing a subpoena for Stephen Nessen, the photographer.
