ID theft, Online view of driver's license

[II kings 9:20]

This is upsetting but I thought I should pass it along. Check your

drivers license. Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the

Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it

was.. . picture and all!! Thanks Homeland Security! Where are our

rights?

I definitely removed mine. I suggest you do the same. .

Go to the web site and check it out. Just enter your name, city and

state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the

screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it

from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

You people all look the same as Zilla in the US. I did a search for mine in a few states and his picture was on it...haha.

It's worse than you thought. According to an interview on NPR with a Washington Post journalist who had recently written a book (I forget the title, but it was something to the effect of no place to hide). There are private organizations that gather so much information about you that even YOU yourself are not authorized to view it (I forget the name of the 2 prominent companies doing this, but one was involved in that recent information leak in California where tens of thousands of people had their entire files leaked).

Yikes...that's definitely scary! I imputed the information and it came back with the result in less than fifteen seconds. Fortunately for me, it's an old photo...good find!

Looks more like my ugly American cousin "Beauregard Baboon" to me.

You got me. I had even saved the site before realizing you should have kept this underwraps until 4-1. What clued me in was my picture on the site: it was an improvement over my actual license!
