Not everything is binary. Driving is a privilege, yes, but making use of the privilege does not imply forfeiture of civil rights. A balance has to be struck.

- kelnos 8y agoAnd many, many people are perfectly ok with the balance of "if you want to drive on public roads, you have to display a somewhat-opaque identifier on your vehicle so you can be held accountable if you screw up".
- perl4ever 8y agoAs people point out, the opacity has lessened over time, and it's reasonable to question if we should re-evaluate how it's being used. Kind of like how social security numbers have changed their role in society.
- rossenberg79 8y agoLicense plates not being required will lead to abuse of driving privileges, an imbalance.
- mjevans 8y agoBeing required to identify yourself and related property in relation to suspected crimes (with probable cause) is acceptable. E.G. "License and Registration please, you are suspected of committing X and possibly other crimes." Being required to wear a real-name badge in a public place is much more unsettling.
