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.

Which brings up the crux of the matter for me - under what conditions is the "approval" given?

If one has a felony conviction are they denied a license?
If one has a history of DUI?
Is it only federal DHS "watch" lists?
Or do they use the notorious "do not fly" list?

If the conditions are known, and there is a right of appeal should a person disagree, and the mechanisms are somewhat transparent, I have less concern. Sadly, many of the post-9/11 security programs that we have implemented smack of police states.

(edit -I just re-read this. I am speaking to the DHS approval star - not to the other uses that the State of Florida has for enforcing its laws)

I don't even know where to begin with this post. I could go into a big long rant, but instead I will ask Robert a question.

Robert, what do you think the role of government is?

Are you kidding me?

If it's not in the Constitution I don't need or want it by my government.

interesting. Seems odd that some of the same people that scream about how all the illegal residents are causing problems in America, but the get mad when a state tries to do something to slow it down or stop it. Advantage of the check through DHS is that if they are not a citizen or are not a legal resident, then it will flag as a potential fraud and trigger investigation.
