The poll isn't really relevant to the story...
I don't really care if they want to put my picture on my card, but thats not what the EPD is doing. They just want to take your picture to keep in their own files for their own dirty reasons.
And BTW, they don't PROCESS anything. It is merely their job to fingerprint you and give you your application so you can send it to ISP. Just do your simple job and stop pretending you have a say in the matter.
My theory is, all the states and the fed's are building a facial recognition data base and these pictures would be added to the data base.
Sub heading "Evil gun owners"
We will all eventually be in facial recognition data base, I just am not in a hurry to see it happen anytime soon.
