Reminds me of when the flood hit here in Pa around wilkes-barre, duryea, etc. The police commisioner or mayor, whatever, came up with a deal. You need 500 permit to run scrap from the flood zone of Duryea out or you would be arrested, fined, etc. I literally picked up from a reg customer some stuff. I was stopped 5 mins from the place and told to drop the **** off the truck, even the stuff I already had, or I would be arrested, etc. I literally got mouthy and almost got disorderly conduct..lol. I had all proof I needed where it came from and that it was not stolen, which is what they were trying to prevent. So I dropped it off the truck at the curb, went for a coffee. Came back 15 mins loaded real quick and got the hell out of their never to return yet. My customers now bring the stuff to me from there just in case the law still stands right at the city line.
I personally think greed and the city making money off the flood scrap was motive, not to prevent theft as they said.
