I was talking about the guy who wrote the law. He specified to the 
sheriff what he should be looking for. Unfortunately, what he specified 
doesn't exist. It's rather like a motorcycle helmet law that requires a 
helmet to have a "freeway" sticker if you will be going over 50 MPH. 
Ain't no such animal. But there is a Snell, a DOT, and a CE 
certification label, which a legislator could find out by asking ANY 
vendor or user of the product.
