From what I have read, not only will all techs be required to get a
PI license (that requires either a law enforcement degree of some kind
or apprenticeship), but it is a punishable offense for someone to
purchase services from an unlicensed shop! In this environment it is
relatively easy for the courts to bar a person from the tech services
market (revoke their PI license). What qualifies as this class of
services is anyones guess (web dev?).
