NEWARK - The 桃子视频of New Jersey and Rutgers School of Law Constitutional Rights Clinic today (PDF) to New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Chairman and Chief Administrator Raymond Martinez making the case against proposed changes for obtaining driver鈥檚 licenses or state-issued identification cards in the State鈥檚 attempt to comport with the problematic federal REAL ID Act.

These amendments would require the MVC to copy and indefinitely maintain New Jerseyans鈥� private identification documents, which can include a birth certificate and Social Security card. The records that driver鈥檚 license applicants current show motor vehicle employees to prove their identity and residency would, if MVC鈥檚 proposal is adopted, be stored in large databases linked with other states鈥� amassed information, jeopardizing residents鈥� privacy and effectively forcing New Jerseyans to participate in a national ID program. In 2007, approximately half of the states participated in a revolt against REAL ID, opposing the privacy implications, the cost, and the ineffectiveness of the policies the law mandated.

鈥淭he REAL ID law and its interlinked state databases effectively create a national ID,鈥� said Rutgers School of Law Dean Ronald K. Chen. 鈥淭his ID system will not improve security, and it will significantly intrude on our privacy. In the proposed regulations, the MVC paints a false picture of giving residents an option to forgo a REAL ID, but in reality, people will only have one choice, regardless of which ID they get 鈥� to put their sensitive personal documents in a massive, multi-state database.鈥�

The amendments to the regulations create a two-tiered system 鈥� one license meant to comply with the problematic federal REAL ID Act, and another that would remain non-compliant with that federal policy. However, even New Jerseyans applying for non-REAL ID licenses would have to submit their private, personal documents for the MVC to copy, scan, and store indefinitely in massive, vulnerable databases.

鈥淭he collection, storage, and sharing of all New Jerseyans鈥� private identification information will create a treasure trove for cybercriminals and identity thieves,鈥� said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Ed Barocas. 鈥淒isturbingly, this amassment of sensitive information could easily be abused or misused by government officials as we have seen happen at federal agencies in the past. The MVC has shown its willingness to offer an alternative to REAL ID-compliant licenses, but it needs to give New Jerseyans a true choice presented in good faith rather than the false choice it grants here. New Jerseyans need the option of obtaining a New Jersey license or ID without having our most sensitive identification documents copied and maintained in a database against our will.鈥�

The federal government has stated that a REAL ID-compliant identification will eventually be required to enter certain government locations and after October 1, 2020, will be required for domestic air travel.

鈥淪ince the non-REAL ID compliant option need not comply with federal requirements, the MVC need not 鈥� and should not 鈥� retain scanned copies of source documents for non-Real ID applicants. This would ensure that individuals who choose non-Real ID are given a viable alternative, which protects their privacy concerns by not retaining and scanning the documents necessary under the six-point system to obtain a non-REAL ID document. The proposed amendments should therefore be changed to reflect that source documents shall not be scanned and retained if the applicant chooses the non-REAL ID compliant option,鈥� the comments submitted by the Rutgers School of Law Constitutional Rights Clinic and ACLU-NJ said.
