NWO comes to Louisiana. It also sounds like a way to wipe out more poor people, or get them into those profitable prisons. The underground economy of second hand goods grows as mainstream economy tanks. Tracking people dodging financial obligations to credit card/banks or other collectors, or nailing those with meager disposable assets who may be in receipt of social services, designed to get easier and more rewarding in terms of numbers caught around the dates that the rent is due. This law will mostly fail, like Florida's idiotic efforts to find welfare fraud. It will only serve to push the underground economy further under. Apart from the continuing war against the poor, this smacks of conditioning towards isolationist internal economy. The fact that it happened in the state still reeling from Katrina is particularly loathsome, like going back to chopping off hands for stealing bread.
