That's silly! I mess up my credit card strips all the time by keeping them in my pocket with keys on motorcycle rides, or in my tool belt when I used to do carpentry, or even slipping them into my money clip the wrong side out....the tape has never lasted longer than a month on any of my cards...I doubt, seriously, that a cop will harrass anyone who does not come out and say, "Yes, officer, I intentionally defaced my DL. And ya know why, Mr. Poleesse Man? Well, I'll tell ya <yadda, yadda, yadda, privacy, yadda, yadda, biometrics, yadda....>"
I do agree that it is proably better to do the damage without it being noticable. Less suspicion is ALWAYS better.
Well I just looked at my Tx. d.l. to make shure my memory was correct. At least on Texas d.l's the *only* way to get to the mag stripe is to break the clear plastic laminating cover. And I assure you that if that cover is broken or tampered with the officer will become much more suspicous. It has this nifty little seal embossed all over the laminating cover on both sides. So going down to the local laminating shop won't work either.
Proceed at your own risk, it's your neck after all.
A couple of times through the washer and dryer and that lamination seperates. Any cop that has worked traffic has seen plenty of DL's in this shape (heh should have seen my old DL when I truned it in to get it renewed <g>). - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
