do not remove under penalty of law

A common phrase that is written in those little labels/tags that you find in your mattress or pillows (mostly on matresses) that you have the urge to take it off but you may think you're going to pay a huge fee or, perhaps, going to jail. As if there was a hidden super-mega-ant-bacteria size of a camera inside that tag to watch it. Some say "except by consumer" others not. But you'll remove it anyway. Besides... what's the worst thing could happen, hm?
Person 1: I just took off this tag. It says: "do not remove under penalty of law". So cool huh?
Person 2: OMG! You're going to jail!
Person 1: Nah. I'll just put it on my mom's desk.

Do not remove that

Oh, shit!
Hym "Do not remove that! Do not, under any circumstances remove that. Really guys. I seriously didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to steal it. Do not remove anything in a way that could constitute a violation of the separations clause."
