LOOK, at this criminal scumbag. You've provided grounds for impeachment and removal of this slimball, aka "Mr. President", until justice is served.

Illegal cosmetology, thousands of witnesses.

LOOK, at this ...

"This” is NOT happening in Arizona.

The discussion HERE is about the Arizona law….STUPID!

1. Perform or attempt to perform cosmetology, aesthetics or nail technology without a license in that category issued pursuant to this chapter, or practice in a category in which the person does not hold a license.

Geez man STFU already! You channeling nolu spam now?

The problem with government shills like you two is that you are too submissive to think for yourselves and need daddy government to tell you what to do.

It's really pathetic watching you genuflect before the almighty State.

This law is overly broad, capricious and arbitrary and makes anyone who cuts hair without approval from the State a criminal.

This law is overly broad, capricious and arbitrary …

Read it again.

This time let your mind automatically engrain the essential left-to-right straight line processing of the printed words without the use of your finder to physically track or point under each of the words you read.

That way, you will find the law is quite specific and easy to understand….try it:

A person shall not: Perform or attempt to perform cosmetology, aesthetics or nail technology without a license in that category issued pursuant to this chapter, or practice in a category in which the person does not hold a license.

… anyone who cuts hair without approval from the State a criminal.

A person who violates this law is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.

… anyone who cuts hair without approval from the State a criminal.

You are correct, in that:

A person who violates this law is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.

Attaboy….you got that part right!

And Gatlin continues to cheer the police state.

I think the thing I despise most about you is your condescending attitude and your slave-like obedience to laws like this and your apparent support of such laws.

It's nanny-state morons like you who are the pussies of society.

Florida Sheriffs Used SWAT-Style Attack to Enforce Barbershop License

“With some team members dressed in ballistic vests and masks, and with guns drawn, the deputies rushed into their target destinations, handcuffed the stunned occupants—and demanded to see their barbers’ licenses,” the court wrote. The raid was one of several deputies carried out against minority-owned barbershops and salons in 2010.

The justices said the deputies went too far in using a SWAT-like approach just to check whether barbers were licensed. In fact, inspectors from Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) had inspected Strictly Skillz only two days prior to the raid and found everything in order.

I'm sure Gatlin approves.

It is a stupid law that busy body morons passed. I know you are for following the law and that's fine.

… some of you who know better and are old enough to know better let young people think they had the right to choose the laws they would obey ¹ …

But in all honesty is this something you would have supporeed had you been given a chance to vote on it?

Yes, I do.

However cosmetology licensing laws and requirements vary by state and there are some portions In each state I would not support….given a chance to vote on them.

Secondly do you honestly believe the founders would have been such pussies to support this tyranny?

Who can say what the Founding Fathers would have supported this day and time.

After all, they were “such pussies” enough to support slavery:

Although many of the Founding Fathers acknowledged that slavery violated the core American Revolutionary ideal of liberty, their simultaneous commitment to private property rights, principles of limited government, and intersectional harmony prevented them from making a bold move against slavery.

And Gatlin continues to cheer the police state.

Trump has expressed unflinching support for police by pledging to stand up for our Law Enforcement.

While on the other hand:

You, Deckard, are a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or government rules and supports a political philosophy that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary institutions….a political philosophy called, anarchism.

I'm sure Gatlin approves.

I never approve of yellow journalism and fake news from the websites you use that deliberately publish hoaxes, propaganda, disinformation and outright lies purporting to be real news.

In Just the Last 8 Days, Nine Cops Have Been Convicted or Charged With Sexual Molestation of Children

Trump has expressed unflinching support for police

There, you've admitted that DJT supports law breaking police.

You support ISIS McCain of Panama, your Senator, the traitor.

You love criminal scumbags. Why?

You love criminal scumbags. Why?

Asking tater questions like that is not going to get you very far. Don't you remember tater's love for yukon? The answer is self-evident.

I would prefer not to have a license but im honest. Too many people are not and they cause most the problems.

The days of John Wayne are over. Too many sheeple want government to regulate every stinking part of life except when they have to compile.

BTW there was a complaint. Its on the notice.

Montesdeoca said he wasn’t aware of this regulation

NOBODY is that stupid. Especially not someone who had a license to run a cosmology business.

Having said that,this is NOT the crime of the century.

WTH happened to common sense? WHY can't the city health board just give him a physical to prove he has no communicable diseases,and then give him a license to operate a mobile hair business? What would it cost them,5 bucks?

What about the parents who give their kids haircuts - are they lawbreakers too?

Yup.

They just don't have the stones to kick in doors and arrest citizens for this "crime". If they did,they would.

The problem with government shills like you two is that you are too submissive to think for yourselves and need daddy government to tell you what to do.

That IS who they are. All they want in life is to find their spot to graze in the government pasture.

It is a stupid law that busy body morons passed.

Well,the law itself isn't stupid because people that cut hair also cut whiskers,and there is always a danger of blood transfer. Would YOU want someone with AIDS or some other blood-borne disease cutting your hair or shaving you?

What IS stupid is the APPLICATION of the law. Too many in government have gone beyond WHY the laws were established to start with,and focus entirely on enforcement and punishment.

Given that this guy poses no threat to the profits of anyone with a brick and stone hair care shop because his "clients" are homeless and mostly penniless,WHY couldn't common sense have prevailed,and the city GIVE him a lousy permit to operate a mobile hair care business so he could cut the hair of the homeless legally,and nobody would be getting their panties all in a wad over this?

ALL it would cost the city would be maybe 5-15 bucks in lost permit fees,and you can bet your ass they will spend thousands prosecuting him.

How the HELL does that make any kind of sense? The Mayor and his staff need to lose their jobs over allowing this to happen.

The jurisdiction for this prohibition might be restricted to persons who attempt to operate a business for profit. I.e. if no money is charged for the haircut, then the investigators could be told to go pound sand. Possibly. Checking the statutory definitions of "establishment", "practice" and so one might be good for the accused to do.

Good points,but regardless of if this is the case or not,SOMEBODY or even multiple somebodies in city government need to be fired for allowing this to get this far.

BTW there was a complaint. Its on the notice.

True,but there is nothing requiring the city to find the complaint to be valid. The one thing we all know is he isn't dipping his fingers into anyone else's tills by giving free haircuts because homeless people are NOT spending their money on haircuts.

I still say stupid useless "law".

BTW there was a complaint. Its on the notice.

When it's an anonymous complaint, it's often a state employee that complained, possibly one working with the enforcement division itself. Who else would be so stuck up about a charity event? It's highly unlikely that the recipients of the free service complained, so who else would have a beef in the matter?

But I still suspect that the jurisdiction for these licenses is only with regard to people making money conducting the service in question. Someone doing it for free is probably immune from license requirements & restrictions, though this may not be obvious in the licensing laws directly. Term definitions are important.

Im thinking it was another barber that was pissed that kid did not have a license. It sucks to compile with govenrment when you compete with those that don't. Some of the guys will complain after having a bad day or just get tired of see people do their job that have no clue what they are doing.

There really is no telling who complained.

Not true. State hates this the most because there is zero taxes coming from zero sales. Whether you charge or not charge is irrelevant to the state.

In Just the Last 8 Days, Nine Cops Have Been Convicted or Charged With Sexual Molestation of Children

These arrests and convictions disproves the convenient mythology you Paultard assholes try to continually spread….that policing in America and the judicial system is broken. When the one percent bad cops are charged and convicted, both are functioning and doing exactly whey they were designed and structured to do.

Trump has expressed unflinching support for police.

The entire quote reads: “Trump has expressed unflinching support for police by pledging to stand up for our Law Enforcement.”

There is no professional group of individuals that have been as assailed and maligned recently as the American police officers. You Paultard asshole anarchist detractors and critics have become malcontent insurrectionists who always paint our nation’s police officers as racist and brutal in your failed effort to show the entire criminal justice system as systemically failed. Innuendos and misinformation in the wake of controversy and constantly calling attention to the one percent bad cops has become the standard response among you dissatisfied and rebellious malcontent Paultards within the public discourse on LF.

Cops are operating within the most difficult and dangerous environment in decades and no single will provide immediate relief for the systemic obstacles facing the LEOs. But there is definite pattern to show hope the Trump administration has provided a welcome start.

Although you have been chastised and your posting privilege suspended by Stone for posting lies and fake news on LF….you continue to do so. WHY?

Not true. State hates this the most because there is zero taxes coming from zero sales. Whether you charge or not charge is irrelevant to the state.

I think I am right. If I'm wrong, then parents cutting the hair of their tottlers would be illegal. People in state authority positions may indeed be monetarily motivated, but they cannot regulate all aspects of people's lives willy nilly. They need jurisdiction to enact any and all laws and regulations that restrict activity. Challenging the jurisdiction of the state on issues like the one in question is a good first move. And doing that is not claiming the jurisdiction doesn't exist. It merely forces the state to show the basis of authority to require the license, which can then allow the defense to show it's not applicable in the present case.

I.e. if the basis of authority is to to regulate business/profit making activity, then the guy here can show their license requirements do not apply to him giving haircuts for free.

I'm no legal pro but.... my 2c, FWIW.

" WTH happened to common sense? "

Damn good question. But exercising common sense, will keep them from playing "tuff guy ".

SAFELY !

If the person did not, a family could go to sleep, and if the work was not performed properly, the house could burn down, killing everyone in the house / building. SAFETY !

I just really do not see the SAFETY factor in this case !

It sounds like it is more monetary / ego. The competitors do not want to lose money, which they are not; the state does not want to lose license fees; and the state bureaucrats do not like to see someone that ignores them and their author a tay !!

The guys that pushed this have too much time on their hands, and no common sense. That seems to be a common trait with bureaucrats !!

I still say stupid useless "law".

You have the right to your opinion to call it a “stupid useless law.”

One may not fish with a firearm.

Why is that a weird law? Because you don't understand your own posts filled with bullshit?

I can understand the need for some licenses for some occupations. For example, an electrician. You would want to know that someone performing that task, knows what they are doing.

I just really do not see the SAFETY factor in this case !

It's not physical safety in this case, but if a woman goes into a Salon and erroneously has her long hair about all lopped off due to some dummy not knowing what he's doing, then it's a very bad thing for her that she would need at least many months to recover from, and which could harm her financially if her business required a reasonable, customary appearance. So there's potential financial harm, in addition to social harm.

The idea is that the general public has an expectation that if they go into a publicly advertised shop in a commercial district to obtain any kind of skilled service, that the person who says they can do that service is qualified to do it. I.e when there's a strip mall of many vendors, the expectation is that all of them are trustworthy. The city/state then steps in and feels it's their duty to ensure this is the case for the benefit of the general public, whom it is supposed to be serving. Hense, the creation of the legal license requirements.

But if someone is providing services on a private basis not available to the public, then there should be no licensing requirements as the public is not at risk. And if there is not payment or compensation of any kind being made to the service provider, as with the man in this article, then it's very arguably not a public service he's providing, and therefore no need of license exists.

thereby creating fake news stating that Donald Trump supports law breaking police…

Speaking of fake news - have you made the call to Donald yet informing him that his assistant and chief strategist Steve Bannon is a purveyor of fake news having worked for many years at Breitbart, a site that is prominently featured on the list of "fake news" sites that you and the other leftists love to tout?

Speaking of fake news - have you made the call to Donald yet informing him that his assistant and chief strategist Steve Bannon is a purveyor of fake news having worked for many years at Breitbart, a site that is prominently featured on the list of "fake news" sites that you and the other leftists love to tout?

I see that you are now out of the closet and showing your liberal tendencies by joining the mainstream media as they repeatedly try to slander Breitbart by continuing to print false and defamatory descriptions of Breitbart News in a nakedly political effort to marginalize a growing competitor.

In a news article about the appointment of former Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon to the National Security Council, for example, National Public Radio’s Merrit Kennedy described Breitbart News “a far-right media outlet that has promoted conspiracy theories” and claimed that it “espouses white nationalism.” She provided no evidence whatsoever to back up any of her false claims.

Similarly, in its own article about Bannon, the New York Times called Breitbart News “a magnet for white nationalists, antiglobalists and conspiracy theorists.” Though there are certainly “antiglobalists” writing for Breitbart (and for the New York Times), there are no white nationalists or conspiracy theorists — and, of course, the Times provides no evidence to back up its false assertions.

The Washington Post contented itself with attacking Breitbart’s audience, calling Breitbart News “a conservative website popular with white nationalists.” The Post provided no evidence whatsoever to back up its claim, which more closely resembles left-wing agitprop than news reporting.

The spate of false reporting was reflected in the lead story at Media Matters for America, a “non-profit” organization devoted to attacking conservative media — and, in a new plan, to ousting the Trump administration. Media Matters said “Bannon is an extremist anti-Semite who formerly ran the white nationalist “alt- right” website Breitbart.com.”

I don't think you believe Brietbart to be fake news.

About This Law: This law was enacted shortly after the AIDS epidemic came into the News in the 1980's. Bathhouses were one of the primary places people could go for anonymous sex. This law was designed to curtail exposure to HIV and other STD's.

Why didn't they try to enact a law against homosexuality and be done with it?

Yeah,I know,but I am guessing no bathhouses were shut down or anyone arrested as a result of that law. I am GUESSING it was just a PR game they were playing.

SAN FRANCISCO -- AIDS closed the bathhouses here when the city tried and failed. It was 15 years ago, when the epidemic was raging and bathhouses, as bastions of anonymous, unsafe sex, were considered major contributors to the spread of the disease.

A local cosmetology student

He should have had the cosmetology school invite the homeless to obtain haircuts at the school where the students could render the service under supervision.

Montesdeoca said he wasn’t aware of this regulation

Then why is he attending cosmetology school to obtain a license?

Tucson News Now: When his Regency Beauty school closed its doors last September, he felt compelled to offer his services for free.

Nolo NoComprende>> He should have had the cosmetology school invite the homeless to obtain haircuts at the school... blah blah

The school is CLOSED. You want him to break and enter?

Its not fair to the license holders that someone is allowed to due business with out a license because to comply with government regulations it cost lots of money and time. You have to go to many govenrment mandated classes. Its a big hassle.

I would prefer not to have a license but im honest. Too many people are not and they cause most the problems.

Spot on... and asshole Decktard knows this to be true... but can't miss a chance to fear monger authority hate... for his anything goes drug addict loving society. I'm sure the douchebag gets his fat head hair cut by a LICENSED person.

Well said. After you posted this response, no other posts needed to be said. You nailed it.
