Seems that state of Florida has adopted a new policy for drivers license applicant's....

After you pass the required tests and pay the required fees you are no longer issued a drivers license...

You are issued a temporary drivers license that is good for 30 days....

This is to allot time for a background check with the department of homeland security.....

If you pass the background check a permanent drivers license is mailed to you with......

a STAR in the upper right hand corner to signify you have passed inspection ........


Jeez seems like just 60-70 years ago someone else was putting stars on people in the name of the homeland......

REAL ID.

All states must comply. Show me your papers and they better not be some
"Certificate of Live Birth" crap.

Background check with DHS??? For a freakin' driver's license? Do the illegal immigrants who apply for a driver's license get the same background check, and if so, will they be deported?


National ID is coming.

I must be becoming more tolerant here. On another thread I objected to Holocaust related terms (the way they were being used anyway) but I can't seem to muster up the outrage for using stars...somehow I just don't connect that to the Holocaust, though I am well ware of their use back then.

Yup, stars have the Seal of Approval. Use them on any document you like.

So now, any illegal immigrant or terrorist will just drive without a license, or get a fake one.


Yet another law that will be ignored by criminals, while it punishes and inconveniences law abiding people.

REAL ID came out of the 9/11 investigation. It was the closest we could get short of a National ID. The plan is to make it harder for illigals and terrorists to blend in and hide. Basically force them totally underground.

Driving on the road or being issued a driver's licensce in Florida is NOT A RIGHTe. It is a privalege. Personally and as a Floridian, I like the idea.

In Florida, driving privileges are suspended for failure to pay child support, failure to show up in criminal court, probation violations, failure to pay for auto accident related damages, previous aresst for drunk driving, etc. Why not take the time to make sure the driver is truly entitled to one?

Also, it is a great way to force compliance and fulfilment of obligations and duties.

Of course. But you don't need a D/L to vote. You just need a form of acceptable identification. D/L is only one of many ways to prove one's identity for the purpose of voting here.

Right Robert. But in states like mine (Oregon) illegals used to use utillity bills and matricula cards to obtain DL to get welfare and voting registration. Also good governor made the announcement and used paid advertising to get the word out. Also increased the length to renew to 10 years!
