So i just wanna clarify what the main concerns are, just to make sure they're right in my mind.

one is that it will make the abuse of your personal details easier, because it is in one place rather than needing to search through several different places to gather it?

two, the cops (bobbys, sorry) do actually have the right to detain you for nothing now, and thats why you say its a police state? If thats right, then hrm, i do find it a bit tough to agree to. I do recall that the laws were changed to arrest people and hold them for a longer (indefinate?) period for suspicion of terror charges... is that a part of this?

third n finally, a question - if you arent a part of the EU, then why is it that you're bound by the EU human rights legislation? In fact, why does the EU even have human rights legislation, given as each participating nation already had it to some degree.
