Edit: downvote all you want but the us doesn't follow gdpr. The DMV doesn't serve Europe. Much of the world doesn't have to care about the gdpr. The information sold is all easily accessible from public records and a tiny bit of web scraping. Going back to the original point. It's not that easy to steal identities without actual private information

How other countries (in this case an ally) deal with an issue is relevant as it allows you to reflect and learn from it.

It's not relevant to the discussion. It's about DMVs in the US.

I don't believe we will reach consensus about the relevance of that. Hence I refrain from continuing this discussion with you.
