I've have been convinced of this for some time. The former excuse was simply, "we're running a little behind now" but apparently enough people reminded them the statute doesn't allow for "running a little behind." I wish people would keep the “bad� print cards, we may be able to use them in 2007.

Wonder when a State Legistlator is going to call the DPS onto the carpet for this deficiency...

I'm not going to hold my breath...

Because DPS is costing us (citizens) "more" money to have this process completed, than if they would just knuckle down and do what is required to actually get it done, on time, the first time...

But then again when is any government system truely ever held accountable for its deficiencies...

If I make a mistake, and or do my job in an ineffeicient manner...And somebody gets hurt or killed...I go to prison, and get fined...My life will be screwed from then on out...

I think it'd be fair to fix the same, potential jeopardy to systems like this...

But then again...We're just talking about little pieces of plastic that have markings on them that tell someone else its ok that we do this simple thing...

echhhh...

Maybe thats the reason why we continue to have the instant NCIC check, is because we do have our files updated and re-verified at the Federal level every 4-5 years, is a benefit, so we can point, buy, and walk out with anything they have on the shelves at most dealers right on the spot...

I'm not saying I like the intrusive-ness feel I get regarding the whole issue, but having the permit does have its pros and cons...

I can understand the original need to fingerprints to be a part of the licensing process...

But why have we not asked (begged, pleaded, demanded) for it "not" to be necessary for a renewal of that same license???

Obviously...Other than losing one or more digits in the interim, what actually changes about your fingerprints...

I can imagine using logic would just really hack off those who would actually have to address the fiduciary impact this issue brings to the State and more to the Federal government...Cause everybody's got to get a piece of the pie I suppose...

Steve
