I had to have my license renewed last week. I asked about this very subject and was assured the photo was not "kept" for any purposes. However the procedure took at least five minutes to complete. Guess they had to store my image.

This is scary, to think that you may live on the opposite end of the state, had nothing to do, what-so-ever, with a crime and then have your photo picked out as the culprit that committed one.

There have been numerous occasions when people have told me I was a dead ringer for so-and-so. I hope one of my clones doesn't live in KY.

This will backfire. They'll end up getting photos that look so much like the suspect that the suspect won't ever be able to be identified amongst the lookalikes.

I guess this is now incentive to shave, get a haircut, and put on your best clothes before getting your driver photo taken.

This might not be a bad thing, if "cold hits" are rightly recognized as being unreliable. The notion that a "cold hit" in any sort of lineup means anything is absurd.

To clarify: suppose one figures that a lineup of 10 people has a 33% chance of identifying the right guy, a 33% chance of identifying the wrong guy, and a 33% chance of identifying nobody. If the police have a suspect and two people ID him, that increases the likelihood that they in fact have the correct suspect. On the other hand, there's a 1 in 27 chance that two people will ID the same wrong suspect if their mistakes are independent; if the wrong suspect has some trait that increased his likelihood of being picked, the odds of erroneous double-ID go up substantially.

I, myself, went today to get my driver's license renewed. Personally, I HATE the new digital driver's licenses altogether. I have no use for the hologramic, high-tech, bar-code national identification card that the KY. driver's license has become; let's not kid ourselves if there is a shred of doubt out there: it IS a national ID card.

And, also, I had to sit and wait for at least ten minutes in the Circuit Clerk's Office, where I suppose they had to program all my vital information into the national database. Because I swear to you, I went into the office at approximately 10 AM this morning and I was LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON in the office.

interesting times.....

Famous LAST words? I hope they never come back to haunt him.

I think everybody in Kentucky should claim to be a muslim and show up at the DMV in a burqa like that woman in Florida did, and then say their religion requires them to be photographed that way.

Combine face-recognition with a national ID system, and being a dead-ringer for somene means you are guilty. Victim gives simple facial descriptions, computer spits out possible matches, you go to jail.

Yet another idiot who should have his American citizenship revoked. He's too stupid to be an American. Deport him to South America, fast.
