Surprisingly, however, the letter of the law explicitly allows this kind of exchange of information thanks to the signing of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) during the 1990s.

Have you noticed that these bills do the exact opposite of what they are called?

“Have you noticed that these bills do the exact opposite of what they are called? “

Have you noticed on robo-call controls, the worst offenders are the politicians and the politicians put themselves at NUMBER ONE when they consider stopping unwanted calls.

Recently a friend phoned me very upset. She had been in a minor bicycle accident. The police wanted her to go to a hospital. When she said she didn’t need to the officer asked for her drivers license. Then he scanned it. My friend was shocked to discover that her medical records were now attached to her recently renewed driver’s license. She said when I renew in 2020 they will also have my medical records. Do I want them to know about my state of vision when I am careful to only drive when the roads are quiet and do it slowly and with full attention. No cell phones/texting, etc.
I am politically active and this is the first I have heard about this new assault on our privacy without even telling us about it. A nearby state is now informing residents that they have a deadline to get these new licenses.

Have you heard of this? What can we do about it? All I can say is “NUTS.”

Good point. This is called the "rule of opposites". Whenever any authority figure tells you anything, imagine the exact opposite.

_That_ is likely to be far closer to what is actually going on....

Examples:

Diversity = discrimination against white males and conservatives

Objective reporting = propaganda and lies

Tolerance = intolerance

Conversation = they will tell you what to think

Compassion = theft (empty your pockets, sucker)

Cure for disease x = milk research on disease x for seventy years so our non-profit officers can make big bucks for a long time

Immigration reform = let in millions of illegals

Rule of law = elites rule, you drool

Dangerous white nationalists = black thugs terrorizing city neighborhoods

Election reform = figure out new ways to steal elections

Education = indoctrination

Fairness = gimme your stuff, sucka

Save the environment = destroy the economy

Public policy = Figure out way for the elites to steal more stuff

Gun control = people control

etc etc
