“California suffers from one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and the state is under court order to release 10,000 inmates, yet state agents are jailing people who manage to find home-improvement work. After placing ads on Craigslist, California State License Board investigators go undercover posing as homeowners, when landscapers, painters, and other contractors show up, the agents give them the ‘To Catch a Predator’ treatment. CSLB recently announced that agents from the Statewide Investigative Fraud Team had completed operation ‘California Blitz.’ SWIFTers busted 79 perps for contracting without a license; they face $5,000 in fines and up to six months in jail.”
