If after reporting these illegal activities many many times and never a response of any sort soon dealers just quit wasting their time and efforts and just stop reporting them. BUT once the form is filled out and submitted and refused for cause it should not have to be reported, it should already be recorded as a felony and in a good part of the refusals it was committed by someone who is already a convicted felon. Sometimes by one who is at the time on parole and can be jailed on a parole violation.
