Sometime in the late seventies or early eighties, one of my brothers was arrested in some little hick town in Texas for selling encyclopedias door-to-door without a license. Spent a night in jail until his employer could come and pay a fine.

On one hand, no one wants constant salesman harassment. On the other hand, licenses are just permission to do something otherwise illegal, which means either a crime is legal for a fee, or a non-criminal is being extorted.
