People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
wow I thought they would already be doing that. California does it

Interesting, I thought that requiring identification to purchase scrap from a seller was an industry standard.
That means up until now, someone could walk in with hundreds or thousands of dollars in scrap, and get paid for it on the spot without even pulling out an ID?

I am for the ID thing as much as it grinds me to have to have it. that said use some common sence, no law will ever keep a thief honest, or a druggie who needs cash for a fix.

Here in NJ we need to show ID I don't mind that but now some politician wants all cash transactions band at scrap yards!! WHAT? God forbid the little guy makes a easy profit.

Glad I live in PA. We will never drop the cash requirement. They talked about it and the backlash was so bad they quickly dropped it.
