Fezmid Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Not Paying Attention at the Virginia DMV Two men have been issued Virginia driver's licenses, even though they were wearing outlandish disguises when they had their pictures taken at the Department of Motor Vehicles. The videos are on-line. The Virginia DMV is now demanding that the two come back and get real pictures taken. I never thought I would say this, but I agree with everything Michelle Malkin says on this issue: "These guys have done the Virginia DMV -- and the nation -- a big favor. Many of us have tried to argue how much of a joke these agencies and our homeland security remain after 9/11--particularly the issuance of driver's licenses (it was the Virginia DMV that issued state photo ID to several 9/11 hijackers who were aided by illegal aliens). "But few dissertations and policy analyses drive the message home more effectively than these two damning videos." I honestly don't know if she realizes that REAL ID won't solve this kind of problem, though. Nor will it solve the problem of people getting legitimate IDs in the names of people whose identity they stole, or real IDs in fake names by bribing DMV employees.

JoeFerguson Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 The people who allowed these pictures to be taken should be fired.
ACor58 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 The people who allowed these pictures to be taken should be fired. State employees do not get fired. They get rasies.
TheMadCap Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 haha, I've been to that very DMV. I need to go by there again and laugh at them. This has been all over the news here lately...
