Default New Illinios Law Requires Photo ID To Buy Drain Cleaner

This is how you're loosing your liberty in the USA.

One piece of ID at a time.

====================================

New Law Requires Photo ID To Buy Drain Cleaner
January 5, 2012 6:34 PM

CHICAGO (CBS) – A new state law requires those who buy drain cleaners
and other caustic substances to provide photo identification and sign a
log.

It’s getting a rough reception from customers and merchants alike
although perhaps none more than a cashier at Schroeder’s True Value
Hardware in Lombard.

“They’re not very happy about it at all,” said Don Schroeder, one of the
store’s owners. “One of the customers actually threatened the (cashier)
and threatened to throw the acid on her.”

LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Bob Roberts reports
http://cbschicago.files.wordpress.co...hu_mixdown.mp3

Although the customer did not make good on the threat, and no one called
police, other employees of Schroeder’s said they would call police
immediately if any similar threat is made.

The law, which took effect Sunday, requires those who seek to buy
caustic or noxious substances, except for batteries, to provide
government-issued photo identification that shows their name and date of
birth. The cashier then must log the name and address, the date and time
of the purchase, the type of product, the brand and even the net weight.

State Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock) obtained passage of the new law
following attacks in which drain cleaner was poured on two Chicago
women, badly scarring them.

“So that’s who I have to call,” Schroeder said.

He said that when he called his local legislator, the legislator claimed
not to know about the new law. Neither, he said, did other retailers in
the area. He said he and other store personnel had to call to a number
of stores before they could get details.

Non-compliance results in fines: $150 for the first offense, $500 for
the second and up to $1,500 for the third and subsequent violations.

Schroeder estimated that there are “easily” 30 or more products in the
store that must be reported when sold.

Jewel-Osco has removed the few items it carried from its shelves, but
Schroeder said he does not have that option as a hardware store. He said
he does not believe that the precautions written into the bill will
prevent such crimes from occurring.

“How are they going to find out, by asking every customer, what kid
might have done that? It’s not going to solve any problems,” Schroeder
said. “It’s not going to cure anything.”

I's say just wait a bit. Looks like just another
example of a kook politician and other politicians
who didn't know what they were even voting for.
I predict it will soon be repealed. It apparently is
very broad and applies to more than just drain
cleaner. But it's a good example of the many
loon politicians out there today. Anytime anything
bad happens, they assume just one more half-baked
law is the solution.

Or the "patriot act" which has been renewed a number of times with both

Things aren't going to change unless folks wake up and realize the red

We have had this sort of thing here for a long time.
Some drain cleaners etc can be used to make bomms.
Lots of stuff over here has disappeared off the shelves or you need a
licence to buy it thanks to our scumbag muslim friends.

Would be bombers go to P@ckiland to learn the techniques of bommmm
making from household chemicals..

Best not to discuss it here, you may get put on a list by either of
our governments.

CHICAGO (CBS) – A new state law requires those who buy drain cleaners
and other caustic substances to provide photo identification and sign a
log.


Last fall I had to show ID to buy a bottle of Marine Formula STA-BIL at
a Walmart here in Michigan.

Ironically, I have to buy the STA-BIL to try and counteract the ****ing
ethanol the government forces refiners to put in gasoline.

Government stupidity is out of control here.

Couple of years ago, Walmart checked my age to buy a brick of .22's. I
was only a kid in my late 60's at the time.

Then there was K-mart that wanted to know if I was over 17 to buy a
bottle of doe pee lure. When I gave the clerk a birth date that said I
would be in my 40's, the women in back of me at the cashier's line damn
near fell on the floor laughing.

Yeha and it always works so well. I mean having to show ID to buy
Sudafed has solved that meth problem.

I initially assumed the meth problem was the reason for this
restriction on drain cleaner, since that is another chemical that is
commonly used to make meth.

Back when I worked for a seed company, we used to sell 50 lb and 100
lb sacks of ammonium nitrate to whoever came in and asked for it. We'd
joke about how it could be used to make bombs. Thanks to Tim McVeigh
and his fellow terrorists, several states imposed restrictions on its
sale, and the feds have been moving to do the same.

OTOH, it's perfectly legal in my state to purchase syringes without a
prescription, but that hasn't stopped Walgreens and a couple other
chains from arbitrarily setting their own rules requiring a
prescription before they'll sell them. When they pulled that on me, I
asked why their company decided to regulate syringe sales when the
gov't said they didn't have to. They just shrugged, I just took my
business to the competition across the street, who had no issues about
selling me a legal product.

This may be related to it being regulated in some areas and not others.
Generally it is easier to do something nationwide than it is to try and
figure out which place it is legal and which it isn't.

You know, we probably don't have that many restrictions on long guns
(firearms mainly used for hunting that is).

But at least we don't have to show ID to buy Sudafed (pseudoephedrine).

And our highways, railway, bus and subway stations don't have federal

I good friend of mine and his wife and daughter spent the entire day at

he had an old ammo can in the trunk that he used to store some small
tools. Apparently it violated some Canadian munitions act because it
once held ammunition...

According to these:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=360357
http://groups.google.com/group/misc....5d0b4be373171d

As of 2003/2004:

California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Texas.

West Virginia asks for a fingerprint, but you can decline.

Seems that Kentucky also requires it.

According to this:

http://clpex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1082&p=8454

Oklahoma also requires (or did require?) finger prints. Colorado also
requires them.

I took a bit of an interest in this idea that in the US, that some
levels of gov't was requiring fingerprints of it's otherwise law-abiding
citizens back when an Oregon lawyer was charged by the FBI for the
Madrid train bombings in 2004:

http://community.seattletimes.nwsour...ug=mayfield25m

-------------
A federal judge yesterday cleared Portland attorney Brandon Mayfield of
ties to the Madrid train bombings after the FBI made the stunning
admission that it erred when analyzing a copy of fingerprints.

The flawed case against Mayfield raises new concerns about the
reliability of FBI procedures used in fingerprint forensic science. In
making the link between Mayfield and a blue plastic bag containing
detonators found near a Madrid train station, FBI officials relied on a
digital copy of prints that Jordan said was of "substandard quality."

Mayfield said he suspected authorities had him under surveillance and
entered his home in the days before his arrest under the "sneak and
peek" search warrants allowed by the Patriot Act. Mayfield said he and
his wife noticed that a deadbolt lock they don't use had been locked and
found other signs that someone had been in their home.
-------------

I found it strange that the FBI would have on record the fingerprints of
an Oregon lawyer, and that his prints were (mis)identified as being a
match for the ones found on the Madrid bomb evidence.

At the time I asked in a few forums how the FBI would have someone's
fingerprints - and was told that some US states require fingerprints
when you obtain driver's licenses.

New Law Requires Photo ID To Buy Drain Cleaner
January 5, 2012 6:34 PM

CHICAGO (CBS) – A new state law requires those who buy drain cleaners
and other caustic substances to provide photo identification and sign a
log.

It’s getting a rough reception from customers and merchants alike
although perhaps none more than a cashier at Schroeder’s True Value
Hardware in Lombard.

“They’re not very happy about it at all,” said Don Schroeder, one of the
store’s owners. “One of the customers actually threatened the (cashier)
and threatened to throw the acid on her.”

LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Bob Roberts reports
http://cbschicago.files.wordpress.co...hu_mixdown.mp3

Although the customer did not make good on the threat, and no one called
police, other employees of Schroeder’s said they would call police
immediately if any similar threat is made.

The law, which took effect Sunday, requires those who seek to buy
caustic or noxious substances, except for batteries, to provide
government-issued photo identification that shows their name and date of
birth. The cashier then must log the name and address, the date and time
of the purchase, the type of product, the brand and even the net weight.

State Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock) obtained passage of the new law
following attacks in which drain cleaner was poured on two Chicago
women, badly scarring them.

“So that’s who I have to call,” Schroeder said.

He said that when he called his local legislator, the legislator claimed
not to know about the new law. Neither, he said, did other retailers in
the area. He said he and other store personnel had to call to a number
of stores before they could get details.

Non-compliance results in fines: $150 for the first offense, $500 for
the second and up to $1,500 for the third and subsequent violations.

Schroeder estimated that there are “easily” 30 or more products in the
store that must be reported when sold.

Jewel-Osco has removed the few items it carried from its shelves, but
Schroeder said he does not have that option as a hardware store. He said
he does not believe that the precautions written into the bill will
prevent such crimes from occurring.

“How are they going to find out, by asking every customer, what kid
might have done that? It’s not going to solve any problems,” Schroeder
said. “It’s not going to cure anything.”

OK, the news media makes their living selling commercial time, to sell
that they have to have viewers, crying mothers are good for grabbing
viewers so that is what they do at least per newscast..., then the
public demands something ought to be done about what caused the mom to
bawl her eyes out on the 6PM news,... and soon there is another new law.
With this latest Shotgun Sarah news don't be surprised if can
