If law enforcement cannot arrest person's based on this information if law enforcement suspects criminal activities of a scrap seller then the COPS need to earn there badge by being a more resourceful investigators. That salary they earn requires some work on their part. The information already collected at scrap yards from a scrap seller should be plenty of info for COPS to stop,question, arrest a suspected unauthorized scrap seller.

I honestly feel passing this bill will hurt a lot of Americans in this great struggle of survival in the united states.this will also hurt the companies receiving the scrap metal. I mean prices are already low but now to make people wait for a check people will soon be desperate. I can't speak for everyone but what would you do to feed your family. Regardless white, black, Asian, Vietnamese, Mexican etc. Honestly I feel this bill is a BAD idea.

show current gov. issued ID
be thumbprinted
scrap metal is photographed
statement of amounts of scrap are signed
statement of right to sell it is signed
if you are selling a/c condensers or coils, you must show HVAC license

if we are already doing all that, what is the point of mailing a check? It will have no effect to reduce theft. If you want to reduce theft, increase investigations to catch theives. When they're caught, PUT THEM IN JAIL.

If cash payment goes away and I have to get a 1099 to further complicate my taxes or have to become a licensed seller to offload a few pounds I'll just consider putting the metal in a landfill.
