Why I decided to become a drug dealer instead (Humor)

[QC444 1]

This is tongue in cheek humor (for those who don't get it)

 

So, I decided I wanted to install Video Cameras as a side line job. The voltages were only 12v DC and it seemed like a rather simple undertaking as long as you had common sense and at least a reasonable grasp on electronics, 120VA and 220v AC.

 

So, all I had to do was get a license to become "Legit". Easy enough, right?

 

Here's what's required in Florida......
