Safety is often an issue cited through ignorance and often attempted to be argued legally without merit when done without true public safety interests on a rather large scale.
Wiring and or plumbing ones own house does not rise to the level of a general public safety issue, not at all and even under the most diverse circumstances it could only be cited indirectly at best on a very limited scale. How much more is ones right to bear arms a general public safety issue? Somewhere in there someone stands up and says such a basic fundamental right to a DIY project is a safety issue and yet they ignore the fact that you have the right to bear arms, drive an automobile, operate a boat, fly an ultra light plane, etc… pick any potentially dangerous thing you like where one could potentially snuff the life from a few innocent people in public, I know there’s a slew of them and the above was merely a warm up and these are unarguably direct public safety issues, yet, you’ve the right to do them.
No… this State legislated issue has to do with one thing and one thing only. If the State cannot tax the electrician and the plumber who would have worked on your house, then the State does not gain that potential income. It may also have been inspired by the unions to secure more work for the union employees and they stuffed money in the pockets of some corrupt legislatures. In either of the aforementioned scenarios - it’s a special interest inspired code and not worth the paper it was drafted on, not constitutionally speaking. Takings of rights are only allowed under very strict circumstances and there’s no chance in Heaven or Hell that the State of Hawaii could legitimately argue a public safety related issue that contained an ounce of merit. Few to no States in this country are stupid enough to deny such fundamental rights and we do not have a greater number of unsafe houses in this nation nor general public safety issues because John Doe built, wired and plumbed his own home with a permit and it was inspected. LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF RIGHT HERE, PAR FOR THE COURSE, not across this nation, but we certainly have a slew of dangerous homes in Hawaii because of these ignorantly stupid minded unconstitutional codes! See how the knife of taking away rights works? It's a sure fire way to screw up things for public safety related issues when things DON'T get checked. So indeed the Hawaii State code is indeed without argument destructive towards it's own end and a menace to the people of the state not to mention a very clear takings.
“There is no such thing as “a right to a job”-there is only the right of free trade, that is: a man’s right to take a job if another man chooses to hire him. There is no “right to a home,” only the right of free trade: the right to build a home or to buy it. There are no “rights to a ‘fair’ wage or a ‘fair’ price” if no one chooses to pay it, to hire a man or to buy his product. There are no “rights of consumers” to milk, shoes, movies or champagne if no producers choose to manufacture such items (there is only the right to manufacture them oneself). There are no “rights” of special groups, there are no “rights of farmers, of workers, of businessmen, of employees, of employers, of the old, of the young, of the unborn.” There are only the Rights of Man—rights possessed by every individual man and by all men as individuals.”
And there’s no such thing as State Rights, Rights of the State, Union Rights, Electrician and Plumbers Rights.
Just as there was no and is no POWER given by the people to States to pass laws that will insure one group of people will be insured work at the expense of taking away the rights of the individual citizens to do things for themselves.
