FACIAL RECOGNITION DMV HEARING
North Carolina DMV now has software that runs the images associated with each licensed driver. This program screens photos from up to 20-30 years ago. If the software finds a discrepancy in the photos, such as an image that does not appear to be the same as the rest of the images, a license suspension gets triggered.
The cause of these discrepancies is sometimes fraud, while other times it is as simple as an old mistake from many years ago. For example, if you used your sister’s name to get an ID with your photo on it 20 years ago, simply to be able to buy beer, that may now catch up with you. When DMV runs your sister’s images and finds your photo attached to her name, both your license and her license will be suspended.
Resolving these license suspensions can sometimes be as simple as a few phone calls on your behalf, or may require an in person interview with a DMV investigator. Attorney Kristi Haddock can walk you through the process. Call 919-335-5656 for a free consultation, or submit our request form for a free consultation.
