But information on us is already held on many government databases what difference is one more going to make? OK the card will carry a lot more information than just our photograph and name, so what. As I said earlier unless you wish to hide something or do something criminal what really do you have to worry about? BTW I don't agree with a £200 fine for not having the card on you and I don't think this will happen. Perhaps something like having to produce your ID card within seven days at a police station (much like when you are pulled over in a car by the police and don't have your drivers licence on you) will suffice. And at the end of the day what is the likelyhood of being stopped for your ID card? With police resources stretched as they are I'm sure they will have other things to contend with.
