You didn't have to give your fingerprints when you got a driver's license?
- bregma 5y agoWhere on earth would people accept such an encroachment on their privacy and right to unreasonable search and seizure just to obtain proof they have passed an examination? Soviet Russia? The DDR? Orwell's Oceania?
- jedberg 5y agoIt isn't just proof you passed an exam -- it's also your ID card. The fingerprints are part of your government ID. Here in California you have to give a thumbprint or fingerprint to get both a license and a state issued ID card. The license serves as both proof of passing and as an ID so you don't need two cards.
- tcoff91 5y agoHere in California everyone who has a driver's license had to have a fingerprint/thumbprint taken.
- js2 5y agoNo, never. I’ve had licenses in FL, GA, NC and CA.
- jedberg 5y agoThey for sure took your fingerprints in California. It's required to get a license.
