Here in Virginia Beach the pawn shops have to send a daily report of transactions to the police department.
This also applies to scrap yards. They must submit to authorities a daily report of all scrap received and by who.
I don't know how this has passed legal muster.
In the article they state:
"Detectives also conducted undercover operations in which they sold new items in their original packaging to the shops, which accepted them no questions asked"
So now Pawn Shops are required to interrogate their customers?
