Second-hand gaming to get police scrutiny

If you’re looking to sell some of your used video games these days, you may want to make sure you have a clean record. Police in Taylor, Michigan are looking into the possibility of making retailers take down the pertinent information of second-hand sellers.

The reasoning behind it is simple: to keep thieves from peddling their stolen wares through retailers. Said Taylor police chief Jac Desrosiers, “We’re doing this because there are instances where those type of items are stolen from homes, and we want to make it harder for thieves.”

The statute, which was already filed yesterday, could result in US$ 500 fines and prison time for retailers who don’t comply with it.
