I agree absolutely about the Civil Liberties arguments. And think of the abuses by people who have no sense. Think about the way Councils have abused parking fines and seem incapable of seeing the damage this does to people's trust in government. Think about the ASBO slapped on an autistic 15 year old to prevent him staring over the neighbour's fence. Think about the inflexibility of bureaucracy in general. We will be drowned not only in large scale constriction of our rights as citizens but in a welter of small daily abuses. And because authority never likes to admit it is wrong we will simply be traduced as whingers. We will all grow to hate these ID cards.
