<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1634315, member: 38783&quot;]For some local thief wanting to follow you home, no, the fingerprint does nothing to aid them.&nbsp; To someone who is more than a local thug, experienced in technology and looking to exploit you financially from afar, all the information they can get is useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>And no, there is no arguing that a lot of this information can be obtained by many places.&nbsp; The argument is why add one more place that is a potential outlet of this information for something that is the result of the flawed &quot;you want to hide something so you&#039;re automatically guilty&quot; thought process .&nbsp; Sure, there&#039;s other places you can go to sell your stuff that don&#039;t have this yet.&nbsp; The problem arises when this becomes law across the country.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether or not I agree with the proposed good any regulation can do, and in this case I am not arguing this idea is a bad one or a good one, if it becomes law all over it becomes a problem.&nbsp; To your point, I&#039;m sure most places are good hearted and follow the law, and protect the data they collect to the best of their ability.&nbsp; They can be trusted to an extent to handle your private information.</p><p><br /></p><p>All regulation whether good or bad however, adds a detrimental cost to the party being regulated.&nbsp; That cost is in time or money (and time is money) in having to put into place practices to comply with that legislation.&nbsp; To those that have the means such as a multi-million/billion dollar corporation they can hire the right people and put the best safeguards in place because they have to.&nbsp; To a coin shop dealer who is only concerned with one thing - selling coins to keep food on his table - that thing is not the proper management of their customer&#039;s private data.&nbsp; They are concerned with doing the minimum necessary to just meet the letter of the law so they don&#039;t lose money on fines and lawsuits so they can spend time on the important thing of making money for the business, not spending it on complying with regulations.&nbsp; Therein lies the ability to make them an easy target for obtaining the private information.&nbsp; This is the whole argument of the car with the club on the steering wheel parked right next to the same car without the club - the one with fewer obstacles will be targeted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why am I, someone with no evil intent (and I&#039;m innocent until guilty, right?), jeopardized in that manner simply because I want to sell some silver and gold.&nbsp; Just as I have no supposed reason to hide anything, I have no reason to be subjected to risk of anything in my personal life on that same basis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
