Yep, this is a reasonable, sensible way to run a country, where we stop people from "preying" on "innocent homeowners" with their terrifying paint jobs

Sheriff: “We have arrested 118 people in an investigation we called, ‘Operation House Hunters.’ These 118 con men & women were posing as contractors & preying on innocent homeowners in Hillsborough County, who were just looking to repair or improve their home.”

But that doesn't have anything to do with licensing; these people basically just were filmed agreeing to perform a job (like painting) that they hadn't paid the government for a permit to do.

Contractor fraud is a huge issue. People can easily lose tens of thousands of dollars to someone who showed every sign of being reliable, but who skips out on the job.

Wow this is awful. This police department is basically evil in the most mundane sort of way. Ruining the lives of working class Americans who are simply trying to engage in a trade, and then gloating over that.
