Stop the National ID!!
by W. Hobbs/ASUF Wednesday, Feb. 04, 2004 at 3:58 PM

The Association to Stop Unconstitutional Fingerprinting (ASUF) is an organization that opposes mass fingerprinting and biometrics generally.

Since 1996, at least nine states have rejected schemes that would have required fingerprints for the driver's license. Alabama, Washington, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Virginia have rejected such measures, and Nebraska has rejected a biometric identifier generally.

The current administration has announced a program that will require fingerprints of immigrants.
