It does not compare the pictures with any other state or federal databases.

Too many false matches. Anyhow, illegal immigration ( as well as identity theft) should be less appealing as a result of this system. Is the database nationwide or statewide?

I took my dmv test last week and waiting for my license.

They already have your photo electronically today! I’m not sure what is different about this system besides converting the digital photo file into a mathematical value and then comparing it with others. The digital photo they already have of you is already converted into a numerical (mathematical) value when it is saved in their database. They aren’t taking samples of your DNA or implanting a microchip in your head!

The Arizona law is excellent, something the Feds should be doing. All I’m hiding is me, from government instrusion.

By requireing collection of my biometric data, without my consent! All in the name of “protecting my personal identity information”. Protecting my identity is my responsibility, not that of the State. When will the Democratic Nazis of Washington leave us alone?

There should be punishment and retribution, such as making the criminal pay for all of the time involved in getting the identity theft corrected and all associated costs.

Should have been arresting those out there that try to get someones ID using fake documents as well. Not just slapping them on the wrist and saying you cant apply for 30 days…Wow now thats a big punishment… Start arresting some of these people and let them sit and think about it in JAIL…!!!
