Which is as it should be.

However, for something like my "database" to be effective, it would have to be federalized. Otherwise, "Michelle" could just skip from town to town, from state to state. Even the DOT came up with the CDL for commercial driver's. It's still issued by the state, but falls under a federal database to monitor driver's records. At one time, drivers could all to easily maintain several licenses from several states. Point one license out from too many infractions, whip out the next one. The CDL put an end to that. Plus penalties are stiffer for CDL holders. And, best of all, it's funded by the increased cost of actually carrying a CDL.

My original question stands. How involved are we willing to allow the government to be? Federal, state or local.
