The law should take into consideration that people make honest mistakes. The law should be used not to screw over the people who mess up [particularly on something as trivial as this story! No one was hurt, killed, or put in danger of such] but to encourage people to do the right thing.

Think about it: If the feds had gone up to them with a $500 fine and said "Get the license and we'll tear this fine up" I am sure the family would have gotten licensed and everything would have been fine. If they still refused? Well then it becomes an altogether different story.
