No Smiling Please on your Drivers License

12 years ago
The idea is to stop people from smiling at the DMV. DMV's will create a database of faces, just like the existing fingerprint database. The idea is for law enforcement to use that database to pick out perpetrators from security camera footage after a crime has been committed anywere in the world. It's because smiles that are too broad and toothy can upset facial recognition software. Of course we questioned the right to smile, and there response was they were wondering why people at the Department of Motor Vehicles in any state would want to sport a big grin after waiting in the typical line to get a new license or registration.... Mentally challenged people smile all the time and are the happiest people on this planet.. I believe God gave them an extra chromosone to be happy.. If they have have a Scooby Doo Lunch Box with Chocolate milk inside there thermos they just struck Gold... Unlike us were if we have a Volkswagon, we want a Mercedes, if we have Cutlas, we want Corvette.... Were never happy with anything.. My name is Patrick Minga and I approve this message..
