This is a dumb law. It treats the symptom not the problem. There is an existing market for getting around KYC requirements. Just search "buying cats" on FB or CL and you will find plenty of them. These people buy cats from the thieves who are too known to the local yards to deal directly with them and pocket a fraction of the profit. You can keep adding laws but the material here is so valuable that the market can support a lot more middle men if that's what it takes to give everyone plausible deniability.

The fundamental problem here is that pretty much every car has a fairly unsecured cat underneath it and that law enforcement DGAF. The problem will persist until you fix one of those two.

Does not a law like this allow to actually GAF and start acting on leads towards resellers at FB, etc? Without resale being criminalized, what grounds would police have to even look at the middlemen?

Between the surge of violent crime, defunding police budgets, and firing of city police forces due to vaccine status, inflation causing massive poverty. Do you think police departments have the resources to tackle these massive amount of larceny cases?

I'd like to be respectable with regards to opposing views about this but wtf did people think would happen following these things?
