So this got me to thinking one day... isn't selling badges really selling stolen property? So I asked my boss (who is a lawyer) to help me argue this case... we came down to this...
A. It would be really hard to argue the case because those clauses aren't made known to all. For example, the little old man who dies and his evil children sell all his goods at an estate auction (not everyone is evil... just being funny)... unless the children had it written in a will or stated elsewhere, how would they know that it would be stolen?
B. Those clauses have only been around for most groups for the last 20 years, any Badges sold that are dated before that, might not fall under the clauses.
There were a few other points that he brought up, but I don't remember them all right now. The only way I think that we could stop the sell of badges and consider them as stolen or fenced goods would be to make the public aware that they are fenced if sold and that you can go to jail or pay fines for purchasing such goods.
