Prince George’s County, Maryland is unhappy with a few pawn shop owners.  From the story: 

While careful to say that the majority of pawnshops in the county operate within the law, the police chief declared that police will focus on those that don’t. By doing so, he said, police hope to stem an outlet for illegal goods.
