This came about due to the influx of immigrants who have no employable skills other than repairing/salvaging cars. The statute (and others like it) were supported by auto repair and dismantling associations who see the home-based repair/dismantling activities as cutting into their bottom line.
As usual, the ordinary citizen falls victim to the statute.
Wouldn't be any need for this if they enforced illegal immigration laws. FEDERAL laws! WHY are there millions of illegal immigrants in CA? WHY are there ANY sanctuary cities in the US? Who the hell even thought-up "sanctuary" cities in the first place?
