The bodies of two men believed to have been electrocuted while stealing copper wiring were found early Tuesday on an abandoned driving range in Riverside County, authorities said. [More]I bring this story up because of this:
A law intended to deter metal theft took effect in December and requires recycling centers to take a customer's photo, thumbprint and identification for every transaction over $20.Hmmm. Sounds just like our issue.
Doesn't look like it's working at stopping the bad guys, does it?

Sounds like a case of direct dialing justice, to me.
A better law would have been a state-wide preemption on liability suits from the next of kin of the Nobel laureates who put two hands on a live wire.
A shocking story if ever therewas one!
