Law enforcement now performs all PC repairs

The Texas legislature just passed a law that all computer repairs and help must be done by a person that has a private investigator license. In order to get a PI license you must either go through a 3 year college level degree program or spend three years as an apprentice to a PI. The law stipulates that all companies repairing software and hardware problems, as well as individuals fixing their own or family PC problems must stop immediately or face 1 year in jail and $4000 fine. Unless a computer repair facility has on-staff PIs, they must close down immediately for three years until everyone becomes a PI. It is unknown how this will effect out of state help companies like Dell or Apple, but the way the law is written, if anyone helps you with a computer issue, you can be fined and thrown in jail. The Institute for Justice Texas CHapter is suing the state for all the companies and individuals that fix computers.
