Florida stops recognizing some driver's licenses from 3 New England states

[Joes Place]

Not true. A simple Google search found this:

"However, there are some exceptions to this reciprocity.

In general, it is true.

You'll always find wild exceptions.
Licenses conveyed that are "bundled" with other features isn't something that will invalidate the "license" part.

States that choose to devalue the driver's licences they issue by getting off into the weeds with relaxed application requirements should have seen this coming....

They are not "relaxed application requirements"

DLs have expanded in function to include BOTH driving competence AND residency verification. The original reciprocity agreements were ONLY based upon the former.

Nope

Not per their own DMV website:

Florida Drivers License - Non US Citizens

How to get your Florida Drivers License if you are not a US Citizen.

The Florida DMV has a reciprocity program meaning you do not have to take driving skill exams if your drivers license is valid from: United States or its Territories;

I can think of only about a dozen legal issues with this DeSantis crappola

Most of this crap he signs gets a lot of GOP fanfare but months later gets struck down in the courts with much less fanfare.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

60% of U.S. states (according to the article) do not offer drivers licenses to people in this country without immigration authorization.

Undoubtedly many of these are blue states. Undoubtedly many of these states have Democrat governors. Strange none of this board's lefties have chimed in about how hateful THEY are.

Do those 30 odd states not recognize the validity of other states’ licenses? If that’s the case then you might have a salient point. But you don’t, do you see the difference here?

Compare it to marijuana,.. Federal crime, but state legal in some states, .. Does it mean that your state legal pot is suddenly okay in another location?,.. no. it's not.

There are zero "reciprocity agreements" between states regarding "pot".

Reciprocity has limits and carries with it an assumption of similarity....

It's what FL is saying they won't honor.

Y'know, the topic of the thread.... 👀

Just let him deflect and be proud of himself.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Not what many studies, and other states, have determined.

LOL.

These states are complicit in illegal immigration.

 

[SolarHawk]

So?

I never said anything about an issued license being a valid document or not. Try harder next time.

Try harder? Oh the irony.
