Apparently in New Hampshire there’s a statute that says secondhand dealers, like pawnshops, and even those cell phone recycling machines at Walmart are required to enter information into a database that the police can just search whenever they want.
They can search my name if they are interested in what you are doing and expect you to be going to a pawnshop, and I believe they can search by merchandise to see if any #pawnshop has received whatever item they are looking for.
I feel like there should be a disclaimer at these places of business that inform people that they will be going into a database the police can browse whenever.
