The illegality is that you are obligated to repair any and all leaks in the system prior to recharging with R-12. If a shop gets in a leaking system, they are required to recover all R-12 until those repairs are complete. You can't just top off an R-12 system any more. The shop is supposed to pull it down even if you elect not to fix it.
