Under the full faith and credit clause, this law will have to be respected by the rest of the states in the Union. There is no privacy quite like driving without a license...legally!

Let's hope this passes.

... There is no such "inalienable right," Brad, nor (as some Georgians are saying) any "God-given right to travel." I trust that sanity will prevail, and that Rep. Bobby Franklin's stupid bill will never pass. There are already too many addle-brained drivers out there who should be taken off the road, and too many more who have no insurance!

"Let's say (hypothetically) that I have a driver's license from AR with a ghost address, and I live in TX (or any other state). What is going to happen if AR decides to pick me for jury duty? What do I have to do to stay off that particular radar?

"... I seldom post hypothetical questions but this one time, I'll answer. As it so happens, I was called for jury duty under this exact situation. I wrote the judge that I no longer live in that state. Nothing more was ever heard."

A couple of additional points. The key to JJ's success is that he said he no longer lives in the STATE, and most importantly that he RESPONDED to the jury notice. If he had NOT responded to the jury notice because he was using a ghost address but never bothered to pick up the mail regularly, there is a chance that a bench warrant for his arrest might be issued. Some states are cracking down on people who ignore jury summonses. Now, since he's no longer (or never was) a resident of the state, he could likely get the warrant quashed, but he would have to answer all kinds of awkward questions, and he WOULD be subject to arrest if he ever entered the state and was stopped.

Another note: This does not work WITHIN a state, at least not Colorado. They are on to this scam. If you get a jury summons and you claim you've moved to another jurisdiction, the only way out of serving or being held in contempt is to provide the court with your NEW physical address, which the court WILL send to the jury commissioner in your new jurisdiction, where you will be put on the short list for selection. The theory being that you cannot evade that responsibility by moving from place to place. Moreover, Colorado, like most states, REQUIRES one to update one's true, legal address with the DMV within 30 days of moving, precisely so that the jury duty rolls are kept up to date. It's actually a petty offense not to do so.

This creates a real conundrum for privacy advocates.

One solution that will maintain privacy and prevent inquiries is simply to show up for jury duty if and when called, even if it means taking a trip to your ghost address state.

Of course, that creates its own set of risks if you swear, under penalty of perjury, that your address is correct, which is a felony.

Jury duty is one of the greatest risks associated with trying to disappear, because it's the ONE THING that government can compel you to do that can't be done by mail, and that can't be ignored.

Then again, I've only been called twice in my entire life, and both times I was dismissed during voir dire because I used to be a cop. But they still call me, and I still have to show up and waste a whole day.

If you REALLY need to cut the banking trail, you can open an account in Switzerland and have your US bank legally transfer all your money to that bank by wire transfer. This leaves a paper trail to that bank.

Then, you go to that bank and you withdraw CASH, and you go immediately to another bank and open an account.

This cuts the US >>> Switzerland link fairly effectively because Swiss banks are still very protective of their client's privacy, to the point that the Swiss government refused to cooperate with the US in finding information on US citizens who have foreign accounts.

Don't forget that even if you move to Europe, you are still a US citizen, and you'll have to not only deal with visitor's visas and immigration rules overseas, but you are still required to report your foreign bank accounts to the IRS to remain legal.

Next, establich a Montana LLC where the sole member (owner) is your New Mexico LLC. This makes your Montana LLC is a subsidiary of your New Mexico LLC. So now anyone who wants to find out who owns the Montana LLC will only find out that it is owned by a New Mexico LLC, and the paper trail ends there, because New Mexico's LLCs are anonymously owned.

For that matter, you can most likely form an anonymous LLC in any state by making your New Mexico LLC the sole member.

I would just add that since each LLC requires a statutory agent who needs to be paid an annual fee, either they should be completely trusted to never disclose your name to third parties if they are asked, or you should not tell them your name in the first place.

I strongly believe in this case he wouldn't have identified the truck so easily had it not been for the clear picture taken by the traffic camera and the outcome would have been much worse. This guy is a hero and the quick action by the authorities to release the pictures helped save her life.
