Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 6:00 pm Recently came across this editorial in the Columbus Dispatch about a large national pawn shop operator trying to weaken reporting laws. This is a bad bill and goes against the public interest. I'm going to write to my state rep. to confirm their opposition to this legislation. Don't weaken pawnshop rules: Bill would make life easier for thieves, worse for victims http://www.dispatch.com/content/sto...victims.html Report this Post to the Staff

This senator is an idiot, and it looks like he sold the citizens out for the astounding sum of $6,000. If you're in Ohio, get on the horn and scotch this. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 09:04 am I can see dropping the prohibition against allowing convicted thieves to sell items (but I would continue the circulating the list of convicted thieves. Let the pawn shop decide if they want to take the risk of buying from them or not.) After all the convicted thief can actually have property that he DOES legally own. But it makes no sense to move the data entry requirement from the pawn shops to the police. (Unless you want to allow the police to take possession of the property until they can get around to entering it into the database. Add that as an amendment to the bill and see how long Cash America supports it.) Report this Post to the Staff
Brushy Bandit Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 09:29 am The laws that inhibit felons from, getting jobs voting, owning firearms needs to be refurbished. People!e are bein neglected of these rights for things that they did decades ago, are ashamed of, and would never do again. But how do you know which oness have changed, which ones deserves a second chance? Report this Post to the Staff

paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 6:42 pm No laws prohibit felons from getting jobs, just not the ones they might want, such as public office, federal or public employment, working in banks, public trust positions. Nothing wrong with that at all. Felonies are serious crimes. If you don't like what will happen to your life by being a felon, don't commit felonies. Most states have a process where rights can be re-established, go through the process if you want to vote or possess a firearm. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12840 Posts	Posted 03/29/2016 01:48 am Many/most employers will not hire someone with a felony in their background. How many felons have we elected to office (i.e., those who have turned out to be felons) or those that are just good at evading prosecution / conviction? It's not a perfect system. But at least it's a system. Report this Post to the Staff
