but having a SINGULAR national id and database..and not 51 different databases would actually eliminate much of the eronoius info out there...and lower costs
ie
snuffy smith of nevada..nevada numberxxx-xx-xxxx has a conviction of ______...and snuffy smith of new york, new york number xxx-xx-xxxx has a conviction of
or
a national id
snuffy smith of nevada , national number xxx-xx-xxx1 and snuffy smith of new york national number xxx-xx-xxx2 both have convictions of _____
a national standard show the difference between the two..while the SEPERATE databases could easily get mixed up...and doing things 51 times is more costly
So you are advocating a national driver license ?
Because this REAL ID is not about driver license rules for each state.
It's about the ID needed to get the license.
That's not standardizing 51 state driver license rules.
REAL ID is about a lot more than a driver license.

no
real id is about having a FEDERAL ID...a NATIONAL standard (we all would like some kind of standard.. aye)
why do we need 51 (more if you count the terrortories) types of drivers licenses....all different....are we not on country????
the real question is are we ONE country made of of 50 states...or are we 50 different little countries, with 50 different rules
fact rules and regulations are the key and otherwise you get anarchy
we NEED a national standard and a national ID...why have such vast differences between licenses
we need a NATIONAL STANDARD...it doesnt have to be a national id (although it would be cheaper to do it at a national level then to have the states do it), but a national STANDARD needs to be enforced...if each state is different and has their own databases that dont MATCH up with each other, that adds to the costs....a national standard, and a national id would be best and cheapest
let's ask this
do OTHER COUNTRIES have individual state/region licenses, or do they have country license???
in england, do you get a london license, or a English(GB) license???
so in the UNITED STATES, why should we get a new york or nevada license...why not just a united states license...it would be so much simpler, and cheaper
Well the cost saving/expenditure numbers are all over the board.
The CBO estimates it will cost states $100 million.
The DHS estimates it will cost states $3.9 billion.
The Governor's Association estimates it will cost $11 billion over 5 years.
More data has to be collected and compatible software has to be written so the information can be exchanged. It won't save money to anyone but the Fed. This is consolidation for the Fed, not for the states.
I got my Maryland driver's license before REAL ID was fully put in to place, but it already complies with most of its provisions.
I'm having trouble figuring out what there is on my driver's license that's so awful.
New security features on the card itself.
REAL ID Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Said cards must also feature specific security features intended to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes. These cards must also present data in a common, machine-readable format."

Only when it's an unfunded mandate to states having budget problems.
When many went to digital fingerprint mandates the equipment was too expensive so it got outsourced.
Many of these local and state government cannot afford these federal mandates.
Obama is responsible because it happened/ is happening under his watch. Nobody that supports LIBERTY would support this. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of doing a disgraceful job as far as I'm concerned. 99% of them ought to be REMOVED from their positions.
There are very few in power who support actual Constutionally affirmed liberty.
Meanwhile the sheeple keep allowing their liberties to be voted away and taken away. Is that frog up to boil yet?
