    It matters a lot, you cannot just allow illegal pollution which poses immediate harm to human life and the environment. If the pipe were installed correctly then it will backflow in the factory, but if you’re that worried you can feel free to contact the company and tell them that the drainage pipe has been sealed.

      There’s a difference between stopping something and recklessly interfering. Destruction of property doesn’t actually care if the pipe is there legally nor does industrial sabotage. You’re committing the arrestable offense not them unfortunately.

        You’re operating under this idea that you can be tried for an action which prevent immediate harm, and that’s just completely false.

          You’re assuming there’s immediate harm, you can’t commit a crime and use the excuse that they did it first. The only thing you’d be doing is committing a felony in basically every state, what they’re doing is also potentially felonious but you need to prove that first and seek civil solutions first to prevent getting yourself a one way trip to prison.
