And? I don't see a problem. Entertaining degeneracy just encourages it. Stand by your guns SC!

I don't think Chase is in violation of this policy at all. It sounds like they routinely dress femininely, including make-up, and that is how they wanted their picture taken. I'd say diverting from that is doing far more to "misrepresent their identity" than anything else.

Hopefully Chase can get a better ID picture, soon.

He is a boy dressed as a girl. An officer would have a hard time telling the person in the picture is him.

This ^

If you're gay then your gay. Fine. Problems can arise when you're dressed and portray yourself to be of the opposite sex when its time to be identified. I side with the DMV.

Lets also remember that driving is a privilage not a right.

Yep. Its no different than asking Sikh's to remove their head dress thing. Or jews to remove their skull cap etc...he is just trying to make a stink about it..they need to see your actual face marks,scars,tattoos,etc hair color,eye color...Stop trying to cause a big scene and cost the state money for not bending to your will.

Women wearing make-up isn't natural either. So this kid's got a pretty good case until the SCDOT bans all makeup from driver's license pictures, regardless of what you personally may think.

Before I pass judgement I'd want to see the before makup picture. Interesting how that was left out of the article.

It's my observation though that a large percentage of women would also look very different in their DMV picture sans makeup.

IMO, let him/her take the picture however he/she so chooses. if pulled over by the cops and the person is not recognizable to the officer, don't be surprised if there's an arrest. there's a reason why you need a picture on your license.

If it is so hard to tell what a person looks like when they have some lipstick on then why does the state allow women to wear make up in their photos? Also unlike a full head covering or even a head dress like the one sikhs wear eye shadow doesn't cover up a basic facial feature. Hair, eyes, and the full face are still visible even if s/he has make up on and you know it.
