From what I've read the county id card programs are funded only by the fees collected. There is a web site where the police can punch in your id on the spot to see if your kosher.
My concern is that they will use the collected info against me or that if I ever had to show the card to law enforcement that they would disregard it altogether which would defeat the purpose of going to the trouble of being validated in the program.
I think this program might be something we have to keep an eye on.
Please keep the poll going, hopefully someone will also chime in with a first hand account of using the id and their story of how it worked out good or bad. Thanks everyone
