But the red card database is being linked to law enforcement July 1st. And with the Beinor & Watkins ruling, the red card really isn't much better than the recommendation. It all depends on the police visiting you and the DA.
This linking thing worries me. The worst part is that after you let your card expire, the CDPHE still keeps your file in their records. So if you have a child, apply for a job/apartment etc, have run ins with police, your Redcard status may be flagged and walah, probable cause to harass you. Just wait til the DUID bill rears its head again. "Oh you have a red card, come with me for a blood test."
