<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 1345579, member: 3926&quot;]Theft of scrap metal has become a big issue throughout the US. I&#039;m in the scrap yard business and every state I operate in has passed some sort of legislation over the last couple of years addressing the problem. Every state requires me to collect the following data on non-ferrous metal purchases</p><p><br /></p><p>From the individual selling the material</p><p>Digital mugshot </p><p>Digital fingerprint,</p><p>Digital photocopy of ID</p><p>Name</p><p>Current address</p><p>Tag number of their car</p><p>Sex,</p><p>Birthdate</p><p>Signed sworn statement as being the authorized seller/owner of the material</p><p><br /></p><p>Additional information required to collect specific to the transaction</p><p>Date of transaction</p><p>Receipt number of transaction</p><p>Description of material purchased</p><p>Amount paid </p><p>Digital photograph of material purchased</p><p>Form of payment (cash/check/etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the business day I am required to upload this information into an authorized state law enforcement database.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some states only allow payment for non-ferrous material by check and one even requires the check be mailed to the seller’s address of record.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the laws impose some type of segregation requirement and holding period along with many other cumbersome business inconveniences.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I am bringing this up is; although the purpose of these statutes is to target the scrap metal industry they are actually written in a more generic form which could make them enforceable on coin shops, jewelry stores, cash for gold outfits and etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
