Health inspections aren't civil law, they are criminal law. They are actually very similar to parking tickets written by non-police "meter maids". It is still a crime.
You need to go back and understand the difference between criminal law and civil actions. Two different games. Criminally, OJ wasn't guilty, but in a civil case, he was found liable. Very different.

I think he is trying to stress that nobody does jailtime for a failed health inspection. Worst case is they close you down and fine you. Well maybe there is some draconian law that permits them to prohibit you from ever owning or operating such an establishment again.
