Huh?

Where are you posting from? Why would anyone need to
leave his name and address - fake or otherwise - when
purchasing a radio?


Because cash transactions are coming under the scrutiny of
authority, today. Louisiana just became the most recent state to
require identity of purchaser in a cash transaction or a ban on the
cash transaction. Even a used purchase from a flea market or a
garage sale.

You need to be more cautious and critical of Internet and media hype.



And you need to make sure you're not talking to someone getting
his information first hand from the legislators voting on the bill.


It does not apply to non profits, flea markets, garage sales, persons
solely engaged in the business of buying, selling, trading in, or
otherwise acquiring or disposing of motor vehicles and used parts of
motor vehicles, or wreckers or dismantlers of motor vehicles, dealers
in coins and currency, dealers in antiques, gun and knife shows or
other trade and hobby shows, and, well, anyone who isn't a "secondhand
dealer"

Actually, these are specifically what the law is intended to
address.
