Comment Photo drivers license already in NZ (Score 1) 258
Hi folks, About May this year the New Zealand government introduced photo id licenses. This may make some go "so what?", but it's the process you have to go through to get one of these licenses that makes you frown. 1) Photo's are stored on a national computer 2) Your signature is SCANNED and also kept on a national computer 3) (NOT PROVEN) You have to do an eye test with a special machine that some people believe with good cause retna scans you. New Zealand traditionally gets tech about 3-4 years ahead of the USA (EFTPos was first here by 3 years) because we're small (3 million people) yet up with the play with Technology etc. and so alot of things are test cased here first. The scary thing about these licenses really is the fact that they have your photo, signature and maybe reta scan, basically they have YOU on computer, just hope your never framed by the govt ;)
