The Law Explained

During the spiritualism craze of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fraudulent mediums and palm readers frequently scammed grieving or gullible citizens. Cranston, along with other municipalities, decided to heavily regulate the psychic industry to curb fraud and protect consumer wallets. If you plan to look into someone's future, you better make sure your municipal paperwork is up to date first. Ironically, a true psychic should have seen the fines coming.
