They’re not being weighed or measured, they’re submitting that information on the honor system. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ryrybang@lemmy.world [S] 14 points 3 years ago (2 children) That seems to be true for Trump; unclear about the others unless I missed reporting on this. Did anybody follow-up with the Sheriff to see if others were weighed versus self-reported? Is Trump getting special treatment? Did Trump, or others here, make false statements to officials about their height or weight? I don't think it's trivial. It's also fun to do this about somebody so vain about their own appearance and who has spent a lifetime making fun of others for their appearance or weight. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago IMHO, it must be self reported org taken from their license, which is usually also self reported. Powell is reported at 6f 170lb, which is how tall and heavy I am.

I asked once about changing it when I went to renew my license, but they need some paperwork and I think maybe even a doctor's note, so I didn't bother. If the government is fine having an inaccurate description of me on file, that's their problem I guess. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago I remember mine for the longest time said 130 pounds because I got my license in high school when I was a weirdly skinny kid. permalink fedilink source parent [–] snooggums@kbin.social 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Why even bother collecting weight if they can just make up whatever? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* Yeah, it’s pretty stilly. Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard for the DMV or jail to take your license picture while you stand on a scale next to a ruler. Kill 3 birds with one stone. permalink fedilink source parent
