Ah, the perennial nice thing about the US is that mind-nazis can also
voice their views. However, let me point out that <I> alone will
decide when it is necessary to get my "underwear in a twist". I don't
need police advice to decide. You people just don't get it, do you? We
should worry about the police being dragged out of the donut shops and
inconvenienced by having to actually READ a book to identify driver's
licenses? For the inconvenience these stops cause me, the police
should be required to come to my house on Saturdays and rake leaves.
This Republic was founded to keep police surveillance from bothering
the population, NOT to make it more expeditious. The entire concept of
government controlling driving is bizarre to begin with. Now that
they're admitting illegals and giving THEM driver's licenses, my status
as a citizen has been lowered even more than I thought possible. So
now, the government", that same body of clowns and bunco artists that
we send to Washington to perform the biggest dog and pony show on
earth, requires my digital strip info to filter out phony driver's
licenses, and I'm supposed to trust them, those who cannot even
conduct their own personal lives within the law? I pray for an early
death, that I may be spared the national shame we're bringing upon this
once great nation. Who ever would have believed that the US, which has
freed pretty near every free nation on earth, would do this to her own
citizens? The very fact that you think this is OK makes my blood run
cold. Go taser some old woman and leave the populace alone.
CJ, in total disgust at this assinine post

Hi
All in all I don't think anyone should get their underwear in a twist
over
this. From what I have read it is going to just be a standardized
drivers
license when it is finally rolled out nationwide 3 years from now. All
the
states will use the same exact drivers license design which will
incorporate
a number of features that will slow down the wide spread counterfeiting
of
drivers licenses which are being sold on campuses for 100 bucks these
days.
For those people that don't drive there will be an ID card the looks
like
the drivers license but does not carry the MV priveleges. It will save
the
police from having to carry the book we had the had the info in it on
all
the licenses and ID's from the 50 states, the territories and the
Canadian
provinces and having to look up the info everytime you dealt with an
unfamiliar ID. On thing not shown in the link was the new License/ID
will
have a single fingerprint on it also which will be able to be read by a
reader in the police vehicle which will compare the print with the
digitized
strip info and the bar code to immediately detect a lot of the phonies.
Regards
Glenn
