The Real ID Act is "mandating" to the states on issues it has no
constitutional authority to do. The Real ID Act is supposedly

government is making it as difficult as they can for the states to not
comply, thus you get the "non Citizens" language.
That's what makes this legislation so awful. It is
unconstitutional and it is going to go through the states if we don't
stand up for State's rights. If it were 1860 guess what would happen??

- Mandating that each state give every other state “electronic access” to the database (i.e., people’s records) with the ostensible but unstated limited purpose of ensuring that no driver holds more than one license and without a limitation on creating a central ID database [§202(d)(12)
-
Mandating that each state give every other state “electronic access” to the database (i.e.,
people’s records) and without statutory limitations on what information
can be shared between states and for what purposes; who else (e.g.,
other state agencies, federal agencies, thirdparties) can access the
databases and for what purposes [§202(d)(12)]
- Moving states toward digitally copying all
highly-sensitive source documents (e.g., birth certificate, Social
Security Card, passport, utility bill) and housing them in a database;
and without statutory limitations on who can access them and for what
purposes [§202(d)(2)]
- Mandating that states “verify” source documents without
statutory limitations related to the collection and sharing of personal
information, by whom and for what purposes [§202(c)(3)(A)]
- Mandating that each card have Machine Readable
Technology (MRT); and without statutory limitations on what information
is stored in the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), who can “skim”
information from the MRZ (e.g., state agencies, federal agencies,
third-parties) and for what purposes; and without statutory security
requirements such as encryption [§202(b)(9)]
- No statutory limitations on “official purpose” [§202(a)(1)]
- No statutory clarity on whether driver’s license/ID card number will be unique within a state or across the nation [§202(b)(4)]
