So, if you are wanted for murder should they flag your DL?


No, if I am wanted for murder, I don't want to get caught.

I have no problem with certain things being flags on the DL - murder being
one example. However, the list is too easy to expand. Terrorism? (based
on TSA's secret criteria?) Child molestation? Skinny dipping? Skinny
dipping with children? Your children?

Drug lords? Drug mules? Suspicion of pot smoking? Neighbor complaints
about unkempt lawns and "strange smells"?

There is due process, but I've seen that due process abused too often for
me to be comfortable allowing the authorities to flag common activities.
For that matter, why not flag credit cards, library cards, and
Stop-and-shop cards? It would be extremely effective, and not a bad
deterrent to boot.


How about "people who are wanted for breaking the law?" That will cover both
people wanted for INS violations and murders.
