Hmmmm, I know which video you're looking for. I can't find it now, even though Bob had me sort of semi-transcribe it and turn it into a future blog post. Here's the relevant part of what I wrote:
David knew a federal court had ruled homeless people couldn’t be denied voting rights and wondered if the ruling might carry over to driver’s licenses. After digging through layers of the Nevada DMV website he learned that if you become a client of a social services agency in the state you can become certified as a Nevada “resident without a home,” and that would serve as one of the proofs of residency.
David was in Laughlin, in the very southern tip of the state, and went to the DMV there. They were very helpful and printed out the necessary form for him. He could’ve taken his form to a governmental social services agency, but he googled social services in the area and decided to give Colorado River Food Bank a try. “They’re very hospitable people,” says David. “I asked them if they’d sign the form and they go, ‘Are you a client?’ I said no and they said, ‘Well, as soon as you sign up we can sign that form.’ So they signed me up, did not ask any means testing. They said, ‘Don’t put down homeless, put down houseless. And then they gave me a shopping basket full of food.”
The form requires you supply a physical address. David continues, “When I got [to the DMV in Laughlin] I’d left the address blank, and the DMV worker said, ‘And where are you staying?’ And I said, ‘About three miles down the road on BLM land.’ And he said, ‘I know where that is. There’s not a street address. Do you mind if I put in the street address of the Colorado River Bend State Park?’ So he put that in and I was willing to do it since I wasn’t the one swearing to it.”
“It was all state guidelines. I didn’t circumvent anything, I didn’t tell a fib, I told the truth at every step so it couldn’t come back on me.”
