Can you purchase scrap metal from a person that you as a dealer cannot determine has a legal right to sell the scrap?

I assume he does unless there is a reason to believe he doesn't. Example: A guy has a full spool of copper cable. That MIGHT look a little suspicious. The exception is anything needing a title.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Most states make dealers give the seller something to sign stating the seller is the legal owner of the scrap. I'd imagine that this would release the dealer from any liability for buying stolen metal. Based on your location, I don't know if they have laws like that in the UK. If the law doesn't make you do this, I'd recommend using your best judgement
There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
