re: I'm taking legal action against the Office of Motor Vehicles

I was with you up till this point. I never said that nor implied it. Your brilliant logic brought you to that conclusion.
Fair enough. All I said was that you implied something like this. Why even bring up this thread and the fact that some of these laws were the same one cited if you won’t tell us why you think that is in any way related? Just say whatever it is that you think happened rather than leave the interpretation open for others.
Tell us what they said or did at the hearing that made you think that this thread was in any way related to this.

I can't share more but I kicked over a very large hornets nest when I did this. It got the attention of A LOT of people at a very high level. I know that to be a fact.
I think this thread was part of that. Some of the laws posted in this thread were presented by the state.

You're really not good at basic logic, are you?
How on earth did you come to the conclusion I somehow believe that?
Your words. Not hard at all. The implication of your statement above is that this thread got their attention, and you then said that some of the laws posted here were used in the hearing. It’s not hard to make a leap that you believe some of the following:
A) the state people were aware of this particular thread and thus were “rattled” in some way and needed to pay close attention
B) someone from the state is posting here and used the same arguments as those posted here
C) state lawyers didn’t think of these arguments on their own but got great ideas from here
I think you are now just saying shite that is untrue or exaggerated to make yourself feel better and then hiding behind “I can’t say more here.”

Ok come on. You think the lawyers for the state couldn’t find the laws anywhere else so they looked here?

That guy looked our way when we were seated and made the comment "They're going to have to appeal this". When we all were walking out that same guy said "We're going to have to appeal this".
LOL, I know I asked that question earlier too - was more wondering if you were going to have poked the bear with the lawsuit and they just stuck it to you.
I can 1000% promise you I've not had any interactions with this case other than these posts. I know I'm giving you a hard time but I'm not that invested.

JFC. Your past 24 posts have been solely on this topic kver the past 5 days.
Why do you care so much?
I don't, really. The feature in TD that notifies you when a post is replied to draws me back into it.
The posts I've made have taken approximately 30 minutes of my life, in total, to make.
Why do you care so much that I am posting here? I'm not an attorney, I don't work for the OMV, I don't work for the state, and I have no real interest here other than this is an absolutely fascinating story to me. I don't care, per se, but it is interesting.

The thing about a petition for a Writ of Mandamus is that it automatically goes to the front of the line, by law.
That's why I was a bit amused at the folks implying they were legal types in this thread. If they truly were attorneys, they would have known that. Or rather, they should have known that. If the state didn't ask for an extension, he would have received his license on his 16th birthday.
He is going to forego the 6 month waiting period and he will get his license as soon as he finishes driver's ed.
Ok, so I have a non-a-hole question here, because I was actually wondering this. Does he really not have to meet the 6-month waiting period? Is that part of the order, they have to issue it "as if" it had been issued correctly at the beginning?

Would the OP have even run into this particular issue if the OMV didn't break the law?
Is getting a driver's license required by law?
Yes, I'm being intentionally obtuse about this particular point, but let's be clear - he made a choice in 2009 or so without fully understanding the consequences of that choice. He made the choice. Nobody did that for him or to him.

You are using the term "right" in a subjective, non-specific way. He's 100% right legally. What are you referring to when you say he's not "right"?
He created a difficult situation for his son that could have been avoided long before they ever walked into the OMV. I think that's wrong. In my view, I would avoid any scenario that intentionally creates difficulty for my children. He said in an earlier post that his son was 100% on board. I'm glad for that, honestly, because I think he's lucky that his son hasn't ghosted him over this.

The DMV decided not to issue a license in violation of the law?

Again, just because he won a legal case doesn't mean he is right.

Everyone is saying he HAS to sign up for social security, and they may be right. But, all those people people were equally sure it was impossible to get a driver's license without a social security number.

At 18 he won't need your blessing, chief. Hopefully he'll be armed with common sense. It seems to be in short supply in your house.

This was all about it being his choice.
What logical person would choose the path you have laid out for your son?
You have knowingly made choices here that have cost you real dollars (not claiming him on a tax return), have led to court costs being spent, and has delayed your son from getting his TIP (and subsequent licensing) by at least 9 months.
This choice has also made him unemployable and ineligible for federal student aid programs.
It's an illogical and irrational choice by any stretch.
Have you dispassionately laid out all of the facts of the situation to your presumably 15-16 year old son and asked him what he'd prefer to be done? Not just your viewpoints, but the true unadulterated facts? I'm guessing not.

But I'm not completely convinced that not having a SS # will exempt him from having to pay into SS. That's a much bigger hill to climb and I'm not aware of any laws that would back up his stance.
Employers will withhold the money regardless because they are required to by law; the son would just not have these withholdings credited to him.

2. The judge would throw out this case.

4. I would get laughed out of the courtroom.
Yeah, these folks are obviously authorities on this and clearly more educated on this matter than I am.
Keep listening to those folks, they surely know what's up.
Holy dear lord. What does anything you just posted have to do with what you quoted?

Why doesn't he have a Social security number? If he want's to get one, he's perfectly free to do so. I'm not signing my son up for a federal investment program that offers horrible returns that he can't opt out of, ever. If he wants to do this, he's more than capable as an adult.
From the first post.
The idea that this guy is such a law abiding citizen and that his son actually can choose not to participate in SS is laughable. People pointed out this fallacy repeatedly.
