No Smiles At NJ Motor Vehicle Commission

Posted by timothy on from the when-instructions-are-redundant dept.

Reader Presto Vivace blesses us with news that the state of New Jersey "has banned motorists from making big smiles [for their license pictures] because such expressions don't work with facial recognition software." Now that passports are by decree grim and glasses-free, I'm expecting the next phase to involve the banning of facial hair, lips, and any hair that blocks the ears.

    This is a great story. And yes, it's on topic for the OP. Take time to watch it all the way through.
