The Lakeland Tax Collection Building which houses the DMV is not verifying identities. Employees ask for an ID and the FULLY COVERED PERSON stands there, removes nothing, and the employees say, “Ok, thank you.”
A person can walk in, fully masked and wearing a hat and glasses, can go to their appointments without verifying a full facial identity when compared to a drivers license or photo ID card.
This is ILLEGAL.

876.12 Wearing mask, hood, or other device on public way.—No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter upon, or be or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road, highway, or other public way in this state.
History.—s. 2, ch. 26542, 1951.
The question is, how many illegals are getting drivers licenses?
How many are not who they say they are?
Eye color, shape of face, teeth and smile, facial hair, tattoos, scars, moles, blemishes CANNOT be identified to confirm who the person is.
Hats can hide hair color, bald spots, tattoos, etc and this too is a safety issue. Sunglasses hide eye color, shape of eyes, scars, wrinkles, moles, blemishes, etc.
Email Governor DeSantis today and let your voice of outrage be heard.
ALL MASKS NEED TO BE BANNED. It is a safety concern and illegal.
