Agents taking a booking photo of a convict they scanned millions of drivers license photos they try to match the two up. In North Carolina where this program is in place they've already helped fitness programs -- to help to catch a couple of different people including this fugitive named her duffel Kuralt less. He was wanted for two murderers turns out he had a new name and a new life this program help to track him down. Critics have been asking is this an invasion of privacy that everybody gets a driver's license could end up taking part in this virtual line up.

" Yes the FBI is allowed to do it so long as they look at the database at the Department of Motor Vehicles in North Carolina. So it's be done and being done by trust of -- professionals.
