Related: About this forumEFF: Your DMV photos are about to be compromised
An obscure advisory committee in the California Department of Justice is scheming to connect your driver license and state ID data with a national law enforcement network and allow cops to use facial recognition on your photos. Speak out now.
Theyre moving forward even though theyve been told by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that the law doesnt allow for this kind of expansion, which would pose serious data security and privacy problems.
Still, the CLETS Advisory Committee, as its called, has been scheduling private meetings with the states largest law-enforcement lobbying organizations and applying for grants to build out the technological infrastructure to make this happen.
The advisory committee isnt used to hearing from the public. You can help to stop this expansion dead in its tracks by joining us in sending letters to the committee in advance of its next meeting on March 25.
Use our tool to generate a public comment todaybefore its too late.

We all know how technology is taking over, some for good and some for bad. This seems bad now, but in the near future you won't be recognized by your license anymore. Minority Report is coming.
