hey Folks.........STOP and take a breath for a sec.

If you have NOT read the bill, you really don't know what you're agreeing to and THAT is exactly how bad legislation has made it through time after time!!! That's how we got here in the first place.

If you agree with the REAL ID, that's one thing. But if not or you don't really understand it, then you could be pushing for something very bad.
My personal experience is that most people aren't aware of what that entails in the long run for AMERICANS.

"40-5-121.
(a) Except when a license has been revoked under Code Section 40-5-58 as a habitual violator, any person who drives a motor vehicle on any public highway of this state without being licensed as required by subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-20 or at a time when his or her privilege to so drive is suspended, disqualified, or revoked shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for a first conviction thereof and, upon a first conviction thereof or plea of nolo contendere within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than two days nor more than 12 months, and there may be imposed in addition thereto a fine of not less than $500.00 nor more than $1,000.00; provided, however, that the court, within its discretion, may suspend the period of imprisonment if at the time of the offense the person convicted had newly established residency in this state immediately prior to the offense, had in his or her possession a valid driver's license issued by another state, and, for good cause shown, had not yet obtained a driver's license issued by this state as required. For the second and third conviction within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained or a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, such person shall be guilty of a high and aggravated misdemeanor and shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than ten days nor more than 12 months, and there may be imposed in addition thereto a fine of not less than $1,000.00 nor more than $2,500.00. For the fourth or subsequent conviction within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained or pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the current arrest for which a conviction is obtained or a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, such person shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years, and there may be imposed in addition thereto a fine of not less than $2,500.00 nor more than $5,000.00.

This punishes anyone if and when the REAL ID begins and they refuse the NATIONAL ID CARD.


All they had to do was pass section 3

SECTION 3.
Code Section 42-4-14 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to determination of nationality of person charged with felony or driving under the influence and confined in a jail facility, is amended by revising subsection (a) as follows:
"(a) When any person charged with a felony or with driving under the influence pursuant to Code Section 40-6-391 or convicted of driving without being licensed in violation of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-20 is confined, for any period, in the jail of the county, any municipality or a jail operated by a regional jail authority, a reasonable effort shall be made to determine the nationality of the person so confined."

Damn JP!

Now I understand what Purdue was concerned about
By separating the clauses it makes sense.
