Topic: Hutterites need driver's licence photos

The Supreme Court's ruling may affect Manitoba and currently 17 people can not take a picture of a driver's license

Public insurance spokesman Manitoba State Department spokeswoman Brian Smear said religious reasons that sympathy and drivers living in remote areas could be exempted.

He said that most Manitoba people without pictures are Futta people who say that it violates their religious beliefs.

A smile can not tell whether court decisions can endanger these exemptions. Smiley said that drivers who are exempting photographs have clearly marked their driver's license, so there is no confusion if they are asked to prove their identity to the police, for example

"We will accept the (state) government and government instructions and ultimately decide whether to continue exemption," said the smile.

Pro Attorney General Dave Chomiak could not comment, but spokeswoman Rachel Morgan said it was too early to tell if Alberta's decision had any impact on Manitoba.

So far, Morgan said that exemption is not a problem here. Manitoba has been exempting photographs since 1991 when a two-piece driver's license ID card was confirmed.

However, Tydos Gross, a member of Clearview Colony, said most Hittersites in Manitoba are not as rigid as Alberta, but adopt technology.

"As we all got a passport," colonial members took their pictures, so they were able to cross the border with the United States.

The case involved the Hutterite colony, and I hoped that some of its members will be exempt from having a photo ID in their driver's license. They think that taking a picture of them is in violation of the second of the Ten Commandments - "You should not create sculpted images for yourself." Preferences All of us should pay attention to the way we understand freedom of religion as society. What do you think is the limit of the impulse to force us to integrate the country? Which practices should people or groups accept or accept? If the Canadian Supreme Court has agreed to consider the rights of religious organizations and there is a possibility of deciding the rights of all religious groups in Canada - the case is threatened, attending deliberations and supporting the court It is important to do (see EFC / CLF Facts)

Several Hutterite colonial drivers in Alberta may start driving illegally. Last July, the two colonies lost appeal to the Canadian Supreme Court and did not require the photographer to take a picture at the state level. They believe that this request violates the freedom of their religion, and they strongly believe that they must comply with the Bible's second commandment. Sam Wurz, administrator of Sanshan Colony, announced last weekend that colonial drivers will continue to drive, continuing to refuse to violate conscience because temporary permits issued by the state have disappeared. He said that living according to God's orders was more important to them, then to follow people's rules and regulations.
