Digital Images Now Accepted as Proof?

We the People have been pointing out–for at least the past four or five years–the FACT that Barack Hussein Obama II still has not produced any physical evidence to prove his eligibility for the presidency. Yes, he’s placed a “long-form certificate of live birth” on the White House (WH) blog. But where’s the real deal?
Despite a plethora of lawsuits that seek to force Obama to prove his eligibility, thus far his lawyers have not produced for any court the document that allegedly was scanned to produce that image on the WH blog. Why not, if it’s legitimate?
Because Obama steadfastly refuses to show the underlying document to any member of the public and, most pertinent, to any court, many of us have joked (and complained) that we would never be afforded the same privilege.
Would any government entity accept as proof a digital image on a website? Would your state driver’s license bureau, for example, accept a birth certificate that you display to them on your laptop? How about the ATF? The IRS? The Department of State?
Will they accept as “proof” an image that you simply plopped onto a website, especially if the “document” shows signs of being digitally altered, edited, tampered with?
Some citizens have been tempted to at least try to use a digital image from the Web when they go to get a driver’s license, buy a gun, apply for a tax exemption, obtain a passport–just to see what sort of response they get.
Put a digital image on the Web and give the government a link. Think that will work?
Believe it or not, some government agencies are now accepting digital images as proof! [...]

If it’s good enough for Obama, it should be good enough for us. Right?

It is getting a lot easier in many states to show proof of insurance coverage during a traffic stop. In what has become one of the hot insurance-related legislative trends, 17 states passed laws this year allowing drivers to show proof of insurance using a smart phone. This brings to 24 the states that say “yes” to electronic proof of coverage, according to the Property Casualty Insurance Association of America (PCI).
“In just two years, policy makers in nearly half the country have changed their laws to enable consumers to use their smart phone to show they have insurance instead of keeping that little piece of paper in the glove compartment,” said Alex Hageli, PCI director of personal lines policy. “It makes good sense to allow consumers and insurers to use increasingly ubiquitous technology to comply with the law.”
The 17 states to approve electronic proof of coverage laws in 2013 are: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. This list is likely to grow even longer in 2013 as legislation is awaiting signature by governors in Florida, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin. PCI is supporting legislation still moving in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
