DownSouth, <<What is lacking are the legal protections we need. When state DoTs can sell licensee information and the fact that a person got a speeding ticket or DUI to those who want to sell legal services or rehab programs to that person, we have a problem. >> I agree totally. I recently got tons of junk mail after a speeding ticket. I lived in Oregon recently and, if anyone doesn't remember, the Driver License numbers of everyone in the state was "accidently" published on the web. It was quickly removed, but I saw an advertisement in the back of a magazine a few months later that was selling CDROMs of all of that info. <<I hope the privacy groups will focus on the cure for our privacy woes instead of easy targets that gain them publicity.>> I couldn't have said it better. -rustr
