The police department found that a large amount of stolen merchandise was being sold to firms, but due to loose pro- cedures in the sale, the police were hindered in their ef- forts to prosecute. The attached ordinance is designed to remedy these problems as best as possible. The major feature of the new ordinance is contained in Sec- tion 342. 07. Tt contains a requirement that the store ob- tain pictured identification from the seller; obtain an affidavit from the seller giving complete identification of the seller; it requires the seller to take a photograph of anyone who wants to sell over $100''worth of inerchandise within 30 days; and it allows the police department access to and copying privileges of these records and photographs. It is hoped that the prospect of being photographed with the m�rchandise will deter a thi�f from trying to sell the fruits of his labors, at least in St. Paul. If it doesn't deter him, it will create the possibility of prosecuting him for perjury i�' he lies about where he got the merchandise. If he admits he stole it, most prudent businessmen will refuse to buy from him. The ordinance as amended would require a license and the sub- sequent record keeping procedure from anyone who buys, sells, or auctions second hand goods or antiques.

Weyandt RE: Second Hand Dealer Ordinance In response to your request, I contacted Bernard Carlson who had expressed concern about the sec- tion of this ordinance setting fees. Chapter 510 of the St. Paul Legislative Code, which becomes effective August 26, 1980, accom- plishes what Mr. Carlson wants. That ordinance allows the setting of all license fees by reso- lution. Therefore, no changes are needed in the amend- ment to Chapter 342.
