As Miss Collins stated your license is part of who you are and when asked under certain circumstances you must show it. Everyones picture is available to law enforcement by accessing the C.J.I.S. computor system. I would bet in the small town I work in we print out pic's at the station and drive them to an officer who has someone stopped whom they suspect of being someone else, family member, friend, and they have assumed the other person identity to avoid prosecution for something. Shortly our mobile data terminals in the cruisers will have that program in the cruisers so everytime you run a license check, which is everytime you stop a car, the pic will pop up. You'd be amazed how many times we stop a person using his brother/sisters info and thenever find out until its too late.
I know one kid who has a revoked driver's license and has for ten years because of someone in Springfield that decided to use this kids info and has been arrested and received scores of tickets. This kid has another driver's license number but both numbers come up when he gets run, the revoked number and the good numberwhen he gets stopped.
My only problem with what Salty is complaining about is thier is too much wrong with the system as it is without adding infinitely more complex solutions to problems that have yet to occur, without first hammering out all the possible issues with ID theft.
The article reads like it was a one-time thing and on its face did well. Facial recognition programs will someday replace other flawed law enforcement tools that are the basis for so many appelate appeals now.
