| Sam Rohrer Press Conference on Real ID |
| This press conference,
led by PA State Rep. Sam Rohrer, was held on June 16, 2008 in
Harrisburg.
Rep. Rohrer is the author of HB 1351, which would force PennDOT to stop
the collection of biometric faceprints of PA drivers. That bill was
referred to the IGA committee, whose chairman Rep. Curtis Thomas has
refused to bring it to a vote. Instead, Rep. Thomas introduced HB 2537,
a gutted version of HB 2537 with the langauge to stop biometric
faceprints removed. That bill made it out of committee, and when it
came to the floor for a vote, Rep. Rohrer introduced an amendment to
reinsert the biometric langauge. That measure lost by a small margin. A
group of Pennsylvanians are filing a class action lawsuit to stop
PennDOT from obtaining their biometric faceprints without their
informed consent. Read More to Watch the Press Conference |

| Class Action Lawsuit against PennDot |
For all Pennsylvanians who care about their privacy rights:
There
is a class-action lawsuit underway against PennDot for stealing your
identity. We are currently in the beginning stages, trying to get as
many plaintiffs on our list as possible before filing this lawsuit. We
currently stand at 317 and will be represented by the Law Office of Clymer & Musser in Lancaster, PA.
In the words of Rep. Sam Rohrer, from his press conference:
"Exactly
two years ago, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania entered into a $45
million contract with Viisage Technology, self-described as 'the
industry leader in instant issue digital driver's licenses.' Viisage,
later renamed L-1 Identity Solutions, became responsible for issuing
Pennsylvania driver's licenses.
