Too bad Texas only has a
part time legislature, meets every two years for six or seven months and then
shuts down. Next official session, the
84th Legislature meets in January 2015. Texas to an outsider like me
it operates on 19th century Territorial Time and or not real modern Statehood Time IMHO.
Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, the
rep who thinks that rape kits cause Abortion, taking away a raped women’s right
to the miracle of conception in conjunction with the Rape Daddy’s magic holy
spermy thingies (taking sperm out of the Rape Victim’s womb), thinks that
fingerprinting people in the Driver’s License bureau is an invasion of privacy.
Ironically, since illegals can’t
get a DL to get car insurance because they are (Catch 22) illegal, it is only
the God Fearing (?)(cannot find Jodie’s religion affiliation anywhere btw)
people of Texas who have to get fingerprinted. God Bless Big Brother Texas. LOL
This in a state that elects
a Canadian to the Senate without asking for a valid American Birth Certificate
( half-assed backward ) etc.
Rep. Jodie Laubenberg,
R-Parker, says her antenna lifted when her 76-year-old mom visited the Plano
driver’s license office recently and was fingerprinted.
“They do not have the
legislative authority to do this,” Laubenberg says. “I was there in 2005” when
the bill the DPS says gives them permission was enacted. “I guarantee this
would have blown up if that was part of the bill.”
The 2005 law said the DPS
could collect “an applicant’s thumbprint or fingerprints.” Two sponsors of the
original bill have said it wasn’t meant to let the agency collect all 10
prints; only if a thumb wasn’t available, fingers could be used. That was, they
say, their intent.
The decision to fingerprint
all Texas drivers was handled by DPS through rule-making, not law, Laubenberg
said, and that’s not good enough.
“I’m all for supporting
DPS, but this one is a privacy issue. And this is one that we need to debate
publicly. … I want them to cease taking fingerprints.”
