This is like a driving license, which is related to the fact that I have gained the skills required to pilot a ton of mechanised death at speeds the human nervous system did not evolve to deal with. It would be a license to be me, extending the "driving while Black" laws to doing anything, anywhere, whilst being anyone as an arrestable offence.
