Controversy
- Sharing of state driver databases not only with other states but also with foreign countries that do not follow the Drivers Privacy Protection Act which puts drivers' private information at risk.
- Since DLA members are required to make their databases available to all jurisdictions, the security of drivers' private information is at risk.
- No due process rights for receiving a traffic ticket or major violation such as DUI while driving out of the country but yet, the ticket when reported to the home jurisdiction can affect retention of a driver's license and cause insurance rates to increase.
- Based on a vote from the Joint Executive Board, other countries can join the DLA such as member nations of the European Union.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
