The housing market collapse has driven many experienced, qualified tradesmen to seek part-time employment. In Florida, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office has targeted those skilled but desperate workers for a pernicious “sting” operation.
An undercover deputy will pose as a homeowner seeking to hire unlicensed, unemployed tradesmen. After the job is described and a price is negotiated, a team of armed deputies storm into the room with guns drawn. The contractor is thrown face-first to the floor, handcuffed, and otherwise abused — for the supposed “crime” of offering to perform a needed service at an appropriate price without government permission.
“The BSO and state officials said the operations have a double purpose: to show construction professionals they need to do work legally or face the consequences, and to warn homeowners about the dangers of using unlicensed tradespeople,”pontificates the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.,
Of course, the actual purpose is to enforce state-created monopolies and guarantee employment for armed tax-feeders.
Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
