(A) Every secondhand goods dealer, except professional numismatists and philatelists, shall keep records in which the dealer accurately, intelligently and legibly enters, in the English language, at the time of purchasing or receiving any article whatsoever into an automated records system provided by the police department. The police department shall furnish the internet web address for the automated records system to every secondhand goods dealer. The secondhand goods dealer shall immediately upon completion of each individual transaction accurately enter into the system via the internet the following information at time of purchase or receipt of any property:
(1) The name and address of the person from whom the property is purchased; their date of birth; their state driver’s license number, or state identification number, or social security number with photo identification that includes their gender, age, height, race and the type of photo identification presented;
(2) A particular, detailed and accurate description of each article to include model number and/or serial number when applicable;
(3) The value of the article;
(4) The amount paid for the article;
(5) The date and time of the transaction;
(6) The date of the disposition of the article or any part or portion thereof and to whom it was disposed or redeemed, including the person’s address.
(B) If the automated records system fails, crashes, or becomes inaccessible by either the secondhand goods dealer or the police department such that data entries cannot be electronically captured or recorded, then in that event the secondhand goods dealer shall use log sheets furnished by the Police Department to accurately enter in ink in the English language the information required under division (A) of this section. In the instances of technology issues that require the use of handwritten records, every secondhand goods dealer shall submit to the Urbandale Police Department each week, on Monday, a record of all items purchased or received. The record shall include all information required under division (A) of this section.
(C) The Police Chief or his or her designee shall have access to the secondhand goods dealer’s computer system and/or log sheets for purposes of inspection for compliance with this section and shall be kept on file for a minimum of one year. Every secondhand goods license shall at all times be open to examination by any peace officer or other law enforcement officer.
(D) Upon entry of the required information into the automated records system, such information becomes a Police Department record, a copy of which shall be maintained by licensee on the licensed premises. When log sheets are required pursuant to § 113.05(B) or upon demand from the Police Chief or his or her designee, the licensee shall surrender the original sheets to the police department and such originals shall remain the property of the city. A copy of the original will be provided to the licensee.
(E) Licensee shall maintain a computer system that meets the system and connectivity requirements as set and kept on file by the Police Department.
(F) The Police Chief or his or her designee shall have access to licensee’s computer system for purposes of inspection for compliance with this chapter.
