FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Today, the Anti-Defamation League, champions in the fight against
anti-semitism, racism and bigotry in the effort too secure justice and
fair treatment for all people, have gone on record for the first time in
officially opposing the Georgia Driver's License Fingerprinting statute.
The ADL joins a growing list of diverse newspapers and organizations who
oppose fingerprinting for driver's licenses including the ACLU, SCLC,
Christian Coalition, Eagle Forum, Marietta Daily Journal, Augusta
Chronicle, Athens Daily News/Banner Herald, Cartersville Daily Tribune
News, Valdosta Daily Times, Tifton Gazette and others.
In a letter from Southeast Region Director, Jay Kaiman, the ADL urges
"Repeal of the Georgia Driver's License Fingerprinting statute and
urge[s] Governor Roy E. Barnes to see that this objective is achieved."
Fingerprinting was "sold" to the legislature under the context of
stopping fraud, but according to figures supplied by Public Safety,
there have been only 142 arrests in 2 � years as a result of an
individual fraudulently trying to get a driver's license. In fact,
Driver License Examiners do not have the power to make an arrest.
Of all the states, Minnesota uses the most advanced fraud resistant
features (like Georgia it is a Polaroid system) and does not employ any
biometrics (e.g. fingerprint). Interestingly, California does requires
a fingerprint, but has one of the highest fraud rates in the nation
(although practically negligible).
The Governor has the power by Executive Order to instruct Public Safety
to stop fingerprinting.
