Florida law, Title 13 section 322.32(2), "Unlawful use of license" says "[i]t is a misdemeanor of the second degree ... for any person ... [t]o lend his or her driver's license to any other person or knowingly permit the usethereof by another."That statute deals with someone else _using_ my license, but in no way implies that my license can't be _held_ by someone else. The title clearly states "use". ;-)
The definition of "use" may be very key, as others have pointed out:
- They are "using" it for collateral.
- They are "using" it to keep track of who is in their facility at
any given time in a manner convenient to them
Also, in english this sentence as parsed as:
( condition_1 ) OR ( condition_2 )
which would mean
( you lend ) OR ( you permit the use of )
which then asks "what's the definition of 'lend'"? Merriam-Webster
includes among its many definitions, "to put at another's temporary
disposal," which it certainly seems would apply, as the ID *is* at
their disposal temporarily.
So don't kid yourself that it's really all that clear-cut.... Get a lawyer. :-)
