What...The reporting is, as is typical, inaccurate.<br /><br />What is prohibited is dealers in secondhand goods <i>paying sellers</i> in cash.<br /><br />It <i>does not</i> prohibit people from <i>buying from</i> such dealers with cash.<br /><br />So, good news from the junk-buyer perspective - no change.<br /><br />As much as I'm used to legal reporting being terrible, it confounds me that so much of the reporting on this one has been so wrong about that. <br /><br />(It's not like it's hard to read the <a href="http://www.legis.state.la.us/billdata/streamdocument.asp?did=760886" rel="nofollow">statute</a>; did all the reporters just crib from one source that was wrong?)<br /><br />(I'm <i>not remotely convinced</i> it's a good or - especially - necessary law, but it's best to argue about it and its merits or lack thereof from a factual basis, something the report there actively discourages.)Sigivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152366541957466049noreply@blogger.com
