Exactly. If you have a valid license, this seems an unnecessary intrusion. If it weeds out Illegals, I'm all for it. I'm quite sure it will not be used for anything that productive though.

The roadside fingerprint plan raises serious constitutional issues that are certain to be pursued as soon as the first blue light and siren guy insists on having it done. What is the compelling state interest? How does a fingerprint check aid in traffic enforcement that a valid drivers license does not? Where does self-incrimination intrusion stop? And those are just a few that come to mind extemporaneously. As dislikeable as they often may be, the ACLU will have a field day with this one.
