Opposition to Mandatory ID cards

Zinfandel | 29.04.2004 08:30 | Indymedia | Repression | Technology | London

David Blunket proposes that by 2012 everybody in the UK should be forced to carry an ID card which carries biomentric data about the owner.

Failure to register for this compulsory scheme (which is expected to cost every individual £35) will constitute a civil offence carrying a fine of £2,500. Blunket said that he will make it a civil offence rather than a criminal offence to stop 'clever people from becoming martyrs'.

There may be other websites devoted to opposing this scheme, if there are please post them. This is the only one I have found so far:
