Thankfully I left NY while the getting was good.
“Thankfully I left NY”
You may have left NY, but that does not mean that this “new” ID system will not be coming to your new home or a state near you. This opens up the doors for others states to use NY as a guideline.
It will follow you where ever you go. It's just a matter of time. I still live in N.Y. and I'm against this license law change too, but even if it didn't go through illegals still drive, licensed or not. Driving without a valid licenses is only a violation of the vehicle and traffic law in N.Y. Illegals simply drive junk cars so if impounded it's not much of a loss. Illegals carry no identification on them when they drive and use three or four names for example Jose, Manuel, Escalades, Aguilar. The same with dates of birth. Illegals are usually released on $50.00 bail for a court appearance that they never keep. They cannot be photographed or printed for the traffic violation. The next time the illegal is apprehended for a similar violation he uses the name of Manuel, Jose, Aguilar, Escalades. This game goes on and on. Judges will not remand illegals who commit these violations to jail. Names are added and dropped. a total break down of law and order.
