Our U.S. government continues to chip away at our supposedly guaranteed right to privacy from prying eyes. Evidently, Canada's government is just as abusive.
From our side of things, in the latest "Big Brother" move from Homeland Security, the powers that be (whoever they are) have set up a new organization called the National Motor Vehicle License Organization ... a vast database of all driver's licenses in the United States, and I understand that Canada has cooperated, and allowed records to be cross-linked.
This enables law enforcement officers (and anybody else, including thugs and criminals), to instantly access your driver's license information via the NMVLO through internet connection, from anywhere.
Go to this website:

If you don't want your name, picture, address and information on the web for all the world to have access to, just enter your name, city and state or province (as they appear on your license) to see your license on file at the NMVLO website. After your license comes on the screen, you can click the box marked:
PLEASE REMOVE
This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.
Incredible! Mark my words: There will be no end to this type of abuse.
It's going to get worse and worse, all in the name of "security".
Don't believe it. It's ABOUT CONTROL!
Our rights are constantly being eroded by intrusive "Big Government" interests. The creation and start-up of the National Motor Vehicle License Organization is just the latest example, and as usual, it was already functioning before we heard of it.
I urge all of you to contact your politicians about this.
If we don't even object, how can we complain?
