Police to get copies of drivers photos
SALEM (AI *) Noxt time
you smile for the Motor Vehi
cles Division's camerus, your
picture will end up in state cus
tody 11s well as on your driver's
license.
On Monday the division be
gan keeping duplicate copies of
drivers' photos on file for po
lice.
The program was approved
by the 1989 Legislature to make
it easier for police to identify
people through driver's li
censes and more difficult for
people to get phony licenses
The system didn't get under
way until now' because the di
vision's photo machines didn't
have the ability to make dupli
cates. Officials waited until
their lease for the old machines
ran out before ordering new
ones.
"We actually started using
the new cameras today,” divi
sion spokeswoman Ann Snyder
said. "They're up and run
ning."
Hunks .is well as polin' agen

"There; are a lot of phony IDs
floating around," said state
Rep. Mike Burton, 1) Portland,
who sponsored the legislation
two years ago
But the Oregon chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union
is wary of tin; new program on
grounds that it might infringe
on people’s privacy rights
Stevie Remington, executive
director of the state ACLIJ, said
police should not he able to ask
the division for pictures with
out u specific reason.
"It must lx; a legitimate need
to know.” Remington said "I
don’t think it’s appropriate for
police officers to come in and
ask for all the blond, blue-eyed
people It s a little like making
everyone come in for a lineup
Because other states already
bad duplicate photos and
tougher license requirements,
Oregon was considered an easy
mark for those wanting a phony

Burton said tli.it during legis
lutivt! committee hearings, law
makers heard stories about peo
pie armed only with a library
card being able to obtain dupli

When people ask. for dupli
cate licenses in the future, they
will be chci kod against a photo
mug already on file if there is
any question about the person’s
identity.
In those cases, a temporary li
cense will he issued because it
takes several days to compare
photos, said Mike linger, man

Unger also said that only law

the photo file, although banks
