Well we do all put our pants on the same way - have the same expectation that what we say will be judged on its merits.
The real depth of the problem lies in the title claim that the AG "office" announced anything related to OC in a car/vehicle. It just ain't so. Had your title and the related post indicated that a false claim had been made by a low level employee, then I doubt anyone would have taken exception to the story, though they might well have encouraged you to file a complaint - I stand in both of those camps.
First the "office" never makes "announcements." Whomever you spoke to would be subject to reprimand for having offered those thoughts to you.
Second and of primary importance is that when an official AG opinion is issued, it is always done in writing.
Third and almost equally important is that the AG never gives legal advice directly (you would be told to seek the advice of a private attorney) and never responds formally to a request for an opinion from citizens of the state. Requests are made by members of the 3 branches of the state government and state agencies. The AG is the attorney for the state - in fact if you challanged the legality of a state statute in court via a suit, you would face him as the defense attorney (state's attorney).
A belated welcome to the forum cirrusly. Knowledge is power - collect as much of it as you can and use it responsibily.
