Some of those requirements like facial recognition are already taking place in NY when getting a license and have been for a while. Probably other states are doing it as well and sharing the information when looking for deadbeats or criminal suspects. I'm not saying it's something I necessarily am in favor of only that much of this is already going on and now the federal government is mandating all states do it uniformly.

You've missed the point of my post entirely.

I don't give a rats' a$$ if I have to provide four pieces of ID when I renew my license. I already have to show my old license, and provide my SS#.

Now I'll have to "prove" that I'm a citizen, by also providing my birth certificate and one (or two) other documents. Fine.

What I object to is this information being copied and scanned, and retained for 7-10 ten years.

I object to my private information be "shared" among the 50 states.

And as I've about fifteen times already, this bill doesn't do one damn thing about the illegals who try to get a license.

This legislation is literally nothing more than a way to turn a drivers licenses into a national ID.

You may blindly trust the government, but I do not.

Perhaps you've seen the recent news reports of DMV employees in Marlyland, Michigan and Florida selling drivers licenses to illegals? (Florida DMV Workers Allegedly Helped Illegals Get Licenses)

Now people like this will have photo-copies and/or scans of all private information supplied, right at their fingertips.

This legislation is an ID thieves' wet dream.
