While the situation cuts close to home and gets my panties in a bunch I think your approach is a little over the top.
How so? A web site. A web site where I sign up on if I want to sell scrap. It takes maybe 5 minutes of my time and I can sign up 24/7. I go to the scrap yard. Give them metal. They weight it and tell me how much it is worth. I accept deal. They need state id and the id number from the site I registered on. They are already logged into the site on their own computer (which requires at most a 10 year old pc with internet access) and enters in the registration number which returns my photo and official name. They check photo and name with state id and my own face and enter the dln which validates against the record to validate that the correct non fake physical id was looked at. They click a button that says log a new transaction. They fill in a short description of metal, the type, the weight, and what I am being paid. Click ok. Then they write out a check to the name the web page gave them and hand it over.
It would actually be quicker than filling out a paper log book by hand, known criminals can be barred from the service, and the police can figure out who stole all the wiring from a building very easily. In addition you can pass a law that says if a scrap yard knowingly fakes this validation or doesn't validate a transaction they get shut down. Very unobtrusive and it could do a lot to keep the industry honest.
LOL This is funny. There is a reason that everything is done in CASH!!!! I don't want to be taxed on what I take there and they don't want to keep true books.
