National ID Law Takes Effect In 2014, 21 States Compliant
(Video)
Thursday, December 26, 2013 8:56
The REAL ID Act’s enforcement will
start next year, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) announced today. The enforcement steps will begin
in April 2014 within restricted areas of the DHS headquarters, followed by a
phased approach, with substantial enforcement in 2016. The 2005 REAL ID Act
prohibits the federal government from accepting driver’s licenses and ID cards
that do not meet minimum security standards set by DHS, no later than May 2017.
The minimum standards require that driver’s license security features be
routinely upgraded to be counterfeit resistant and require applicants to
provide documentary proofs confirm true identity.
REAL ID compliant driver’s
licenses and ID cards are key elements of the nation’s homeland security
strategy. Enforcement of the law will clarify and differentiate between
compliant state-issued identity credentials versus less reliable proofs of
identity when admitting people to secure federal facilities or, beginning in
2016, to board airlines.
In 2012, all governors were
notified by DHS that each needed to provide a status report on REAL ID
compliance. All but two states, Arizona and Pennsylvania, provided a
response. DHS has certified 21 states as
compliant with the REAL ID Act’s rules. Mississippi
and Vermont are the latest states to join Alabama, Hawaii, Florida, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia,
Indiana, Iowa,
Maryland, Ohio,
South Dakota, Tennessee,
West Virginia,Wisconsin,
and Wyoming .
Well thank goodness my state isn’t
on there. A national ID card is scary
stuff. It’s the modus operandi of a
fascist totalitarian state. ’Your papers
please!?’ America, you need to wake up and
smell the fascism. You are slowly
butsurely turning into a kind of nazi germany. Thats not paranoia, thats fact. You had better get out in the streets and let
your voices heard. You need to do something and soonn otherwise one day your
going to wake up with a jack boot in your face.
