As the REAL ID act meets reality, recall a previous report on DMV fraud and lax security. If you think you have problems budgeting for security in your company, imagine being handed an unfunded mandate from the federal government. Do you think current problems will magically go away?

CDT (https://www.cdt.org/) has issued a report entitled “Unlicensed Fraud” (https://www.cdt.org/privacy/20040200dmv.pdf) documenting rampant internal fraud and lax security at state motor vehicle administration offices across the country placing the reliability of all driver’s license at risk. While heavy public attention has been placed on new national standards and new technologies for driver’s licenses, studying local news reports from throughout 2003 CDT finds that basic management processes to stop bribery and theft are lacking. In the report, CDT offers policy recommendations to address this dire issue. February 2, 2004
