  Do not transport a digital scale around in your automobile, if stopped for a common violation, GungHo cop might arrest you for possessing of drug paraphernalia.

  If you are buying scrap gold, you better get a very accurate one
  
  If you are not going to be moving it - you can probably get an older Mettler scale on the cheap that gpes to mg

  If you go to your local head shop you can purchase one for cheap. I paid $14.99 for mine.
  
  You will not get into any trouble for carrying digital scales around with you or in your car, unless there is any illegal drug residue on the scales! That's a different story
