Kennedy 0 #3 October 20, 2011 This is one of the worst laws I've ever seen, and that's saying something. The correct way to deal with pawn related theft issues is to require that pawn shops get ID from whomever is selling the item. If you read this law in a more inclusive manner, it says you can't sell anything to anyone for cash ever again, unless you are a retail outlet. eta: LA House Bill 195witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The law is so poorly written that it's practically unenforceable. Laughable.Look at a bill of US currency. It sez: THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. One could easily make that point that this law "disenfranchises" all US currency.!! ( Still laffing) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about taking an incremental step toward setting up the bureaucratic infrastructure for the collection of sales taxes for new and used items on all sales activities ....public and "private". Private cash sales would be banned because it would create an opportunity to criminally "forget" to report the transaction. Bartering is next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #7 October 20, 2011 Holy shit! I had to read it twice. I can't believe that this law actually got passed! The legislature was either clueless or asleep at the switch. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,148 #10 October 20, 2011 No, the people who passed that law aren't smart enough to think that far ahead. Remember, never ascribe to plotting that which could be accounted for by sheer stupidity. But hey -- it's Louisiana Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

muff528 3 #15 October 20, 2011 Quote Dammit, what New Orleans hooker takes plastic??? Does the law apply to goods and services? If so, which applies to the hooker? Is it considered "goods" or services? (If you take "something" home with you I suppose it could be considered a purchase of goods ). Also, does "secondhand" imply "third-hand ......"50th-hand", etc.?

lawrocket 3 #19 October 20, 2011 Let's say that you want to get increases in revenues. Under-the-table transactions are significant problem for governments. However, if the government bans cash, it was obtain a record of the transactions that occurred. it allows the tax man to get to it more easily. Let's also say that you are the banking industry. These cash transactions make it difficult to make money. You say to a legislator, "People commit crimes unless banks are involved." There is a nice piece of legislation to benefit the banks on the basis of public risk. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's only true if sales tax is how you get your tax money. (Which is one reason a national sales tax is a bad idea.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
