Digital IDs could arrive for Californians this spring. Here’s how they’ll work

The project is aimed at creating a single digital identifier that can be used to provide proof of identity and obtain access to state services.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles said the rollout to pilot a secure mobile driver’s license or mDL, could come as early as late spring for a limited number of participants. The DMV said it is working with popular mobile wallet providers, including Apple and Android, to place the mDLs into their devices.

The DMV is also developing an open-source app to test alongside the mDLs. All of these pilot products will utilize the security capabilities already built into smartphones, including biometric readings or a PIN code...

... the information is transmitted from your phone to the device of the person checking the ID...

A technology company called IDEMIA is currently working with Apple and the Transportation Security Administration to implement the use of state identification cards in Apple Wallet. A result of the effort is now some people can use their digitally-stored identification cards to pass through the TSA checkpoint at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona. IDEMIA previously partnered with the TSA to provide Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) scanners to scan and authenticate IDs at airports across the country.

And let me guess. Free phones and service to all those “people of color” and illegal aliens who will be hardest hit...

And why can the government force this but not an ID to vote?

So minorities are too poor and dumb to successfully get a state issued ID card to vote, but they all have smart phones and apps.

With this advantage, you may no longer have to present an ID that shows your home address to be identified by a stranger at a bar ..."

Ya know what? I'd trust a random stranger at a bar with my home address much more than I trust the Government and Big business to have my Digital ID / Social Credit data.

More fascism. Merger of state and corporations.

And isn’t this giving Apple a monopoly?

It’s just wrong in so many ways.

And they haven’t even mentioned implanting a microchip yet.

Revelation 13:16-17

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Those cell phone thingies are too confusing for this old timer to understand.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

(If necessary I have my wife’s grandfather’s ancient wooden cane I can bring with me to help make my case. :-) )

Revelation 14:9-12
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
