Not in all instances, just for the picture on your driver’s license.
New Jersey has joined several other states in the use of facial recognition software … linked to driver’s license photos.
So, it’s all about facial recognition:
“The distance between someone’s mouth and their chin. The distance between their mouth and their nose. The distance between their eyes.
And when you make a bizarre or obscure facial expression, it prohibits the computer from conducting the measurements it needs to do,”
Couple of points;
1. I’ve never heard accuse New Jersey folks of excessive smiling … scowling, yes … smiling, no.
2. Who ever smiles when they’re at the DMV.
3. NJ is at least 3 years behind Virginia … we posted about my wife’s smiling reprimand back in 2009.
