“While hats or head coverings are generally 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,” read the flier. “Photographs increase public safety.”
Deputy Press Secretary Henry Haupt of Illinois confirmed that Muslims and Sikhs will be allowed to wear obtrusive headwear in their photos, Fusion reports. Even the burqa and veil are considered acceptable, although they cover every identifiable feature.
Can you tell if the woman under the burqa is the same person as the one on the drivers license? Can you even tell for sure that this is a woman?
What's the point of requiring a photo ID ?
enlighten me.....
