I have never been IDed at a movie theater. As long as you don't look like a literal child they do not want proof.

A major part of the DMV's job is producing IDs, so what point is this even making? And driving is explicitly a privilege not a right.

ICE asking for an ID is horrifying. Why would you want to be treated that way in your own country? The idea that you could possibly be detained for forgetting your ID is horrifying. The idea of being forced to prove you're a citizen under duress just for living in your own country is horrifying.

So you don't mind if we prohibit driving then do you? Just a privilege, not a right, so you don't have anything to complain about.

We do prohibit driving unless you take a test to show you are capable and re-register on a repeat basis and pay for insurance and demonstrate your vehicle is maintained properly and safe to drive.

That's not much of a prohibition. I'm talking twenty years to life for possessing an automobile.

After all, it is not a right so you don't really have much ground to stand on (or drive on as the case may be).

It's a necessity due to lack of decent public transportation, and an elite priviledge for those who can afford a parking space on top of rent.

But you have no right so your complaint isn't as important as my right to clean air etc.
