<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1298241, member: 26302&quot;]While I thought the OP article pretty ill informed and poorly researched, yours jjack is downright scary. I know the intent of the law is to allow easier tracking of stolen merchandise, but to forbid an entire sector of the public the right to use cash is Orwellian at best. They SAY its &quot;only&quot; to track down criminals, but you know darn well the revenue department would start incorporating that data into their records.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like an overreaction to some, but laws like this need to be shouted down. All people should not be assumed criminals simply to make life easier for law enforcement. If this is a problem, then stiffer penalties and/or records like pawn shops currently keep are the answer, not forbidding cash for certain transactions. Punish the evildoer, do not take away liberty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its just like cold medicine used to make meth. Many states passed these laws. They did stop meth production here, now we simply import the meth from Mexico. Now, though, some people are advocating making us sign for all drugs like we do for cold medicines because, &quot;it would help the state make sure you are taking medicines properly&quot;. Let them in for one valid reason, give up one small liberty, and they will want to take more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if it sounds like a rant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
