We haven't heard the last of the story

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Following the completion of a nine-month-long construction fraud sting, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested 118 unlicensed contractors accused of performing more than $540,000 worth of work illegally.
Sheriff Chad Chronister announced the results of the Operation House Hunters Tuesday, noting that the sting was prompted by an increase in complaints of construction fraud.
Operation House Hunters ran from March 11 to Dec. 16 at five houses located throughout Hillsborough County where undercover detectives posing as homeowners set up 191 appointments for home repair work. They met with unlicensed contractors selling their services on social media and websites with classified advertisements.

Unlicensed labor will get you arrested in Florida. Seems like a restriction on natural human rights.

Nearly the same problem in the Failed Hispanic State:

In California, Protecting Workers Means Outlawing Their Jobs

"As a freelancer, I have the flexibility to do work while I'm at school, or do work late at night, or, you know, not work that week because I'm busy," Kassy Dillon, a journalist and graduate student at Pepperdine University, told Reason in late 2019.

On January 1, 2020, earning that extra cash got a lot more difficult. California Assembly Bill 5 was designed to constrain the growth of the so-called gig economy, based on the theory that companies like Uber, Lyft, and Postmates are taking advantage of contract labor.

Dozens of professions, including many jobs in health care, commercial fishing, grant writing, hair styling, and the fine arts, are exempt from the law. Journalists were allotted a partial exemption of 35 submissions per year per client, which was negotiated by the bill's author, California Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D–80th District).

"Was it a little arbitrary," Gonzalez told the The Hollywood Reporter regarding how she came up with that number, "Yeah. Writing bills with numbers like that are a little bit arbitrary." (Gonzalez declined Reason's interview request.)

These regulations cause sudden stops when the next regulation to apply has higher transaction costs then exit.   The sudden stop problem is why we have checks and balances and we can see the California Hispanic legislator never leaned the lesson.  Like today in Calizuela, business bankruptcies are up as business choose exit rather than deal with the coming tax battles.  If the legislator understood check and balancvs then the legislator would be aware of this sudden stop problem.
