"Creative interpretation" (otherwise known as "ignoring") of the rules is a tradition also practiced by State:

In early June the newspaper asked why DLNR was not enforcing laws prohibiting camping on the mountain. ... After several back-and-forth emails, Kekoa Kaluhiwa, first deputy director of DLNR, suggested the department "minimize" its response by simply stating that, "The area is not permitted for camping. Both state and county officials are monitoring the situation."

A bit of old-fashioned "buck-passing":

Later that month, Redulla wrote that Deputy Attorney General William Wynhoff had informed him that he believed the Land Board has the authority to close the state-owned portion of the roadway in the interests of public safety and health. However, he warned that the Hawaii County prosecutor’s office would "have to be willing to accept arrests that are made under the authority of such a closure."

The "emergency" rulemaking has some "collateral damage", and of course those people feel they're being unnecessarily persecuted:
