I think this contravenes federal law and, besides, why should I be forced to provide a paper trail for the convenience of the police. The dollar, increasingly worthless as it is, is legal tender supposedly good for the payments of all debt, public and private. Bobby Jindal evidently signed this and that drops him several notches in my estimation.

“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private”

I’d say that this law can be safely ignored unless the Louisiana Dummycrats want to lock horns with the Federal Reserve.

Who are they going to find to enforce it?

It is clearly an illegal “law”, and jury nullification should make short work of it, if the State Supreme Court doesn’t.

Not really sure how it contravenes federal law as the law only delays the payment in legal tender. Oregon passed a similar law regarding nonferrous recycling materials and photo i.d. is required for every transaction. Now, the copper thieves run it across the border...into nearby states.

What’s the problem? Don’t most people shopping at second-hand stores have gold or platinum cards?

Unconstitutional in so many ways it would be difficult to enumerate them all.

And so full of loopholes you could drive Obama’s Canadian built campaign bus through them.

For one:
Money orders are free at Walmart.
No ID required to purchase or cash in.
No audit trail.

Cold hard cash. It's good everywhere you go, right? You can use it to pay for anything.

That's what we do, pay cash as much as possible for anything we buy at stores. We're not criminals, we just like privacy. At times, we buy things on the internet, where they often want an email address. Next thing we know, we're getting lots of spam emails with targeted sales pitches. If I could pay cash on the internet, I would. Anywhere else, paying cash keeps us anonymous.

So I thought US currency stated: “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private”. Yard sales and swap meets are screwed.
