  4. How a Driver License is Born • State vs. Tax Collector Offices • Documentation Requirements • Issuance Process • Scanned Document Retention

  5. Required Documentation • Proof of identity – birth certificate, U.S. passport, certificate of naturalization • Proof of social security number • Proof of residential address • Proof of legal presence • Proof of name change

  6. Card Changes • Full legal name – two lines for name • Residential address instead of mailing address (but LE should not ticket someone for not having residential address on license!) • 8 year term - unless older than 80, 6 year term; or CDL HazMat, 4 year term • New ‘star’ designation indicating compliance

  7. Additional Requirements • Cannot hold two credentials at once • Elimination of Valid-in-Florida-Only licenses (valid until expiration date or until next DL or ID issuance)

  8. Address Requirements for LEOs • LEOs and others protected under s. 119, F.S., may use their work address • If your record is blocked, the mailing address will automatically print on the card instead of the residential address • Records of spouses and children may be protected as well.

  9. D.A.V.I.D. Security requirements

  10. Why Do We Care? • Federal and state Driver Privacy Protection Act (s. 119.0712(2), F.S.) • Emergency Contact Information • Additional requirements of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes • Financial as well as criminal penalties

  11. What Are the Requirements? • Update user access permissions upon termination, reassignment, or misuse • On-going monitoring, plus annual audit of records accessed • All users must be instructed in writing of confidential nature of information and the criminal sanctions for unauthorized use

  12. What is authorized use? • Law enforcement purposes • Unauthorized use includes: queries not related to a legitimate business purpose, personal use, and the dissemination, sharing, copying or passing of this information to unauthorized persons

  13. What Happens When Unauthorized Use Occurs? • Disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment

  14. OK or Not OK to Use D.A.V.I.D.? • Copy a photo for a ‘wanted’ flyer? • Get the address of a friend’s home where you are having dinner tonight? • Check out your ex-wife’s boyfriend? • Find photos for a photo line-up? • Look up your boss, a fellow trooper, the Governor, or John Travolta? • Get your husband’s SSN?

  15. Uniform traffic citations

  16. Life Cycle of a UTC • DDL produces paper UTCs and distributes them to LEAs or assigns e-citation numbers. • LEA assigns citations (or numbers) to respective LEOs. • LEO writes a citation, then transmits it to the clerk within 5 days. • The clerk enters the citation in their system, which is then uploaded to TCATS. • The citation is shown as used in our citation inventory system

  17. Life Cycle (continued) • The violator takes care of the citation (elects school, pays, attends hearing, etc) • The clerk updates the disposition in their system, which is uploaded to TCATS • The incoming TCATS record is processed by our system, which updates the inventory system, adds the citation/disposition to the driver record, calculates any penalties, and generates orders.

  18. Life Cycle (continued) • The clerk may submit request for suspension through TCATS if customer fails to pay the fine or fails to appear. • The LEO may void a citation only if the citation has not been transmitted to the clerk.

  19. UTC Manual and Reference Documents • UTCs must be used when citing an offense under 316, 320 or 322, F.S. The DUI citation must be used for DUI violations. • The UTC Manual and related memos, policies, and instructions may be found at www.flhsmv.gov/courts • Memos are also posted on the message board in D.A.V.I.D.

  20. Tips for Completing UTCs • Aggressive driving box should be checked when the driver commits two or more of the following acts simultaneously or in succession: Speeding, Improper Change of Lane, Following too closely, Failing to Yield, Overtaking and Passing A Vehicle cutting in, and or Violating a traffic control or signal device. (not 316.1923) • Red light box should be checked if the driver actually runs a red light in order for higher penalties to apply.

  21. UTC Tips (continued) • “Yes” must be entered in the CMV box if the driver is operating a CMV at the time of the violation. This triggers CDL disqualifications and is required by federal law. • Complete the back of the complaint copy of the UTC to request that the driver be retested.

  22. UTC Tips (continued) • Citations and associated paperwork must be delivered to the local BAR office if BAL > .08 or driver refused the test. • DDL audits each troop annually to ensure that citations are properly accounted for and transmitted timely to the clerk.

  23. What if? • You stop a car with a GA tag. The driver does not have proof of insurance. Do you cite him/her? (316.646) • You stop a car with a FL tag, but the driver does not have proof of insurance. The driver is not the owner of the car. Do you cite him/her? • A driver is stopped for DUI. The driver presents an OH license. Do you confiscate the license? • A driver is stopped for running a red light. The driver presents both an OH license and a Valid in Florida license. Do you a) confiscate the FL DL; b) confiscate the OH DL; c) cut off a corner of the FL DL; d) none of the above?
