Well Nemo answer this one.

So you will not object to a government spy camera in every room of your house, including your bedroom, linked back to a police monitoring station? Apparently a lot of crime goes on behind closed doors. Child abuse, criminals conspiring, thieves dividing up their loot, drug dealers etc. The police could clear up a lot of crime with these new powers. Surely if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear?"

Still waiting for an answer to above

Why dose this country have more spy cameras than any other country's?
The ID card will be a biometric card of course it will have a electronic chip in it.

As of Jan 1st 2006 the police can arrest you without due course reason.
As a suggestion see how long you can stand outside Parliament protesting before the police turn up, feel free to try it.

I'm not talking about crime in your area.

It's about the database state set up by this government, have you forgotten they are here to work for you not the other way around.

Here's the answer
Quote:
Immigrants and asylum seekers are already subject to stringent ID checks and must have their fingerprints taken etc. Illegal immigrants often arrive with no ID whatsoever, having shredded their passports in an attempt to become faceless and backgroundless. A National ID Card will do precisely nothing to stop this problem. Many illegal immigrants knowingly face death to get to safer countries. Would ID cards stop people who are that desperate?

Why should I be proud of this ID Card? Seems to me other forum members from the U.K. are also against this card.
