Weird Stories Of Driver's License Photos1. The woman who won an appeal to wear a pasta strainer on her head in her driver's license photoLindsay Miller of Lowell, Massachusetts, a self-described Pastafarian, has won her fight to wear a pasta strainer on her head in her driver's license photo. Arguing that her chosen headgear was part of her right to freely express and practice her religion, Miller was granted permission by the state of Massachusetts motor vehicles division on appeal after their initial refusal.The Massachusetts DMV's website proclaims that drivers may not wear hats or head coverings in their license photos unless the items are “for medical or religious reasons.” Miller says she wore the strainer to show her devotion to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The motorist who deliberately created an awkward and hilarious driver's license photoA zany motorist with a good sense of humor and a lot of patience solved the problem of the embarrassing driver's license photo by deliberately creating the most awkward portrait he could.Prankster Daniel Mundschau, 37, worked hard on creating this hilarious and unique look, complete with a bald head, double chin, classic horseshoe mustache and a manic look in his eyes. The practical joker put his Indiana ID up on Reddit and it received plenty of attention.Mundschau explained through a series of photos how he achieved his crazy look, starting with "one month of unchecked growth" for a "canvas to work with." He wanted to keep his crazy look strictly legal, so had to grow out his hair rather than the quicker option of a wig. He closely shaved his head for the effect of a "little male pattern baldness," then crafted his facial hair into big sideburns and a mustache. To complete the look, Mundschau crossed his eyes while keeping one on the camera, and pushed his head back to give the impression of a double chin. (Source)3. The U.S. state that allows Muslims to wear head coverings for driver's license photosA driver's license is one of the most important identification tools in the United States. Anything of a sensitive nature that requires confirming a person's physical identity usually also involves checking someone's license. But now, Illinois is allowing Muslim religious garments in driver's license photos. This can include headdresses or scarves that would conceal part of the head.“While hats or head coverings are prohibited from being worn in photographs used on Illinois driver's licenses and identification cards, customers may be photographed while wearing established religious head coverings,” reads a flier distributed to state employees at the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles.NOTE: While we initially claimed that Muslims would be able to wear burqa, veils or other garment that covers your face in your driver's license, in Illinois or any other US state, this was not correct. Yes, you can wear religious headgear on your Illinois driver's license, such as the hijab worn by Muslim women or the turban, which is common in men of the Sikh faith. These garments do not cover the face. (Source 1 | Source 2)4. The teen who was told to take off her makeup for her driver's license photoThis teen wants to retake her driver's license photo after she says the employees at the Anderson, South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles made her take off her make-up.Chase Culpepper, 16, wears makeup and girl's clothing every day. She considers herself gender non-conforming. Culpepper says she went to the DMV with her mother to get her driver's license. She said she had already passed the test but was told she could not have her picture taken while wearing makeup because she did not look the way a boy should. They let her wear pearl earrings, but demanded she remove the mascara and eye shadow she regularly wore before they would take her photo.Culpepper said she ultimately removed her makeup, but the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund is calling upon the DMV to allow Culpepper to retake her picture.At the time of the incident, she used male pronouns to refer to herself but now identifies as transgender and prefers female pronouns, the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF) said.

Much like the second guy on our list, he dedicated several weeks to grow enough hair to create the perfect look for his driver's license photo. (Source)6. The cosplay driver's licenses in JapanIn most U.S. states, they won't even let you smile for your driver's license. In Japan, they'll not only let you smile, but they're fine if you're dressed in cosplay. These “itai” driver's licenses are perfectly legal and feature everything from costumes to colored contacts to crossdressing, but there are limits—you still can't wear a hat, and you can't have a brightly colored wig.

The comedy group who managed to prank the Virginia DMVIn 2006, Will Carsola and Dave Stewart, from the sketch comedy group DayByDay Productions, tried to see how ridiculous they could make themselves look for their driver's license photos and still be issued driver's licenses from the Virginia DMV.The results were awesome:According to an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the DMV didn't think the prank was funny and is working on changing their policies to prevent this from happening in the future. Carsola and Stewart also had to reshoot their driver's license photos. (Source)8. The hot female cop whose driver's license photo was checked over 400 times by copsA former Minnesota police officer will receive more than $1 million in multiple lawsuit settlements after learning that dozens of her ex-co-workers illegally accessed her driver's license record just to gawk at her picture.The Minneapolis City Council agreed to pay Anne Marie Rasmusson $392,000, on top of a $280,000 settlement she reached with several other cities whose officers violated the law by accessing her records for personal reasons.The case marks one of the largest data breaches committed by law enforcement officials in history. An investigation into Minnesota's Dakota County Sheriff's office, as well as state troopers and Bloomington police, show that more than 100 officers—from chiefs on down—were using the database as their personal Facebook. Rasmusson, who was known by colleagues as Bubbles because of her cheerful personality, first became aware that other officers were looking up her photo when a former police academy colleague mentioned that she looked great and that he and his partner had used their squad car computer to view her image.In August 2011, she contacted the state's Department of Public Safety asking if it was possible to restrict access to her driver's license file. Following an investigation, a DPS worker revealed that her record had been accessed by officers numerous times.Officers are only supposed to look someone up for official reasons. That said, the incredible misuse of the database is astounding —City Pages found that 104 officers in 18 different state agencies accessed her driver's license 425 times.

I see that Ralph King has provided an excellent answer on the situation in the UK.American police are treated and are expected to behave similarly to our British counterparts. There are things private citizens can do with little consequence that could be career-enders for a cop. For example, I live in a state where marijuana is sold at retail, and there is no penalty for personal use. Cops don't have to fear criminal penalties for using marijuana, but if one was caught with a MJ-positive drug test, that would likely be the end of his job.Most states don't allow public safety employees to strike. If you're dissatisfied with the way your agency is treating you, that's not an option. This is true even if you're working for the fourth consecutive year without a contract, and you can see the asphalt through the floorboards of your patrol car.You're expected to report for duty when needed, even if it represents a big inconvenience for you. If the dates of that non-refundable luxury cruise you just paid for happen to coincide with a felony trial where your testimony is needed, unpack your bags. This is especially annoying when the day of the trial arrives (after it's too late for you to take the trip), and the bad guy pleads out at the last minute, so there's no trial. If there's a tactical alert called in the middle of your kid's 6th birthday party, you had better be out the door and on your way to the station. Pretending you didn't get the call is not the way things are done, professionally and ethos-wise. These things don't happen a lot, but you have to be prepared for them.You probably have to keep your hair cut fairly short, and facial hair may not be an option. Likewise, visible tattoos are discouraged or forbidden. If you get arrested for an offense like domestic violence or DUI, your career might be over. That's probably not the case for the guy who manages the shoe department at Macy's.There are situations where cops cover for other cops, so the bad actor gets away with stuff a private citizen would suffer for. This is wrong. In most agencies, assisting with this sort of skullduggery will get you fired or suspended. I know it happens, but it's not tolerated as much as in previous years.You're expected not to engage in activities that reflect badly on the police employer. Your neighbor might be able to go months without cutting his grass, and the only penalty will be nasty looks from others in the area, and maybe a citation from the code enforcement officer. If a cop does this, he'll hear about it at work and be told to clean up his act (and his yard).These days, cops are highly discouraged from having a social media presence at all. One post of you shotgunning a beer at a beach party, and you're having a come-to-Jesus with the chief.You can't be especially vocal about your political views. Even though you never mention you're a cop, getting on the soap box to vilify a politician or a government practice or agency will come back to bite you. The local media will quickly find out who you are, and the news account will run alongside a photo of you in your uniform.If you work for a sheriff's department, getting behind the wrong candidate for sheriff might be curtains for you. If you are/were the losing candidate, it will be a rare event when you get to keep your job.As these things aside, it's not like you're in the military. There is nothing to stop you from bailing at any moment. It's a job, and you can quit it if you want, and when you want.

"If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democratic."I think most people answering this don’t get the meaning of the phrase. Sure, the wealthy may or may not be mostly Republican. But what Harry Truman meant when he coined the phrase was that Democrats are simply better for the economy.What it boils down to is which economic model you believe government fits into:Reaganomics [ushistory.org] or Supply Side economicsvsKeynesian Economics which tends to state that government spending can boost the economy.If people vote Republican, then the tendency is to give tax breaks to the wealthy, and although the premise is that that when the rich are allowed to flourish, they will spend more on everything from goods to wages for their employees, and so the wealth will “trickle down” to the little guy. We might get the very rare tax refund like George W Bush handed out a couple of times, but many argue that that is almost Keynesian because it was a form of government spending boosting the economy.If people vote Democrat, then when the economy tanks, government spending will increase and we’ll get more jobs for all the projects that get built (like the TVA and CCC in the New Deal) and the little guy will get wages that way, as well as handouts from things like food stamps.Which President Added Most to the U.S. Debt? As of right now, President Obama shows the largest monetary amount, while George W Bush shows the largest percentage increase. One should note the Republicans do spend a lot as well, it’s just mostly spending on the military apparatus, vs. social and infrastructure programs for the Dems.Overall, if you want to live like a Republican wants to live - low taxes, high income, able to cut spending programs that seem to benefit the non-white races, even if whites do use the lion’s share of the funding: This One Fact About Government Benefits Makes White People Look Lazy - Breaking Brown , increase the amount of legislation influenced by right-wing religious zealots: 9 ways Christian zealots cripple America, condemn the LGBT community by denying them the right to get married or use the bathroom of their choice: PHOTOS: Anti-LGBT Literature Widely Distributed At Right-Wing ALEC Conference , refuse to give women an equal wage: Republicans Unanimously Block Equal Pay Bill, or protect African Americans from being murdered by the police: A sheriff who called Black Lives Matter ‘black slime’ is speaking at the Republican convention , among other things, you’ll have to vote Republican.If you want a little more money in your pocket and an end to suffocating narrow-mindedness, vote Democrat, even if it’s not such a stark contrast, it’s at least half true: Does the economy always do better under Democratic presidents?
