  1. Meh by J'raxis · · Score: 1 · on DHS Official Suggests REAL ID Mission Creep

    Real ID? Meh. My state rejected this crap last year.

  2. Robo-scanning banned in New Hampshire by Plugh · · Score: 1 · on ACLU Protests Police Scanning License Plates

    Here in the Free State of New Hampshire, we recently enacted a law banning automated license plate scanning. That, in conjunction with the fact that we just opted out of the Federal Real-ID program (video), makes New Hampshire a pretty good place to go if you're concerned about privacy.

    In New Hampshire, target of the Free State Project, it is not just about money.
    The Federal government can dump as much cash on us as they want and we still are bound by law not to comply.

    The exact wording of the bill that Governor Lynch is expected to sign this week or next says:
    [T]he public policy established by Congress in the Real ID Act of 2005, Public Law 109-13, is contrary and repugnant to Articles 1 through 10 of the New Hampshire constitution as well as Amendments 4 though 10 of the Constitution for the United States of America. Therefore, the state of New Hampshire shall not participate in any driver's license program pursuant to the Real ID Act of 2005 or in any national identification card system that may follow therefrom.

    By the way, if click on the generalcourt.org link above, you'll notice that each legislator has a "liberty grade." Just like in school, from "A" thru "F" -- the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance rates each and every one of the 400 State Representatives, based on how the actually vote on freedom-related bills, every year. Just one of the many things that become possible as a critical mass of pro-liberty activists concentrate on a single state.

    By the way... one of the sponsors of the bill, Rep. Winters, is a Free-Stater -- check his acceptance speech

  5. New Hampshire Resists Real-ID by Plugh · · Score: 3, Informative · on Real RFID Hacking Scenarios
    There is a very active resistance to Real-ID here in New Hampshire. We came within a whisper of passing a law (HB1582) that would have explicitly rejected Real-ID; there was an incredibly passionate speech on the floor of the House of Representatives: here's the video

    In addition, there was a large rally at the NH State Capitol; here is that video.

    Unfortunately, our State Senate pulled some extremely underhanded parlimentary tricks to kill HB1582; all the gory details (and sound bites from the Senate) are here. The good news is, we here in the "Live Free or Die" still actively resisting this intrusion into our privacy!

    We take privacy seriously here in New Hampshire, especially privcay from the gorram Government!

    By several I should have said... New Hampshire. As far as I know, my state is the only state to challenge it. Hopefully there are others.

  7. Move to New Hampshire by takeya · · Score: 1, Offtopic · on NIST Standards for New Biometric ID Card Published

    Move to New Hampshire, if this passes: http://generalcourt.org/bills/2006/HB1582

    And if you're up for it, join the Free State Project.

    I'm so glad I live here... and so glad that that bill is on the table, and has a lot of support.
