Do you think that we should all have ID cards?

Question

i think we should, it would cut down a lot on fraud and you could prove who you were without any hassle . what do you think

Answer 1

Mark of the beast is begining as a cheer for freedom.

-Freedom is lost with the sounds of cheers

Answer 2

No!

Answer 3

Yes, but drivers lincense and passport should be enough

Answer 4

I've got a Passport and a Driving Licence, I think that's enough proof of ID for anybody.

Answer 5

No. They're no more reliable than any other form of id - driving license, passport etc.

They are a complete waste of money as the police would need to be given new powers to search someone or oblige them to hand over their card. They simply won't work.

Answer 6

Your so correct about the fraud. Have two very large problems with system using drivers license. Don't drive and paying ID tax as offend as renewing driver license might be straw that breaks camels back. plus don't think it is secure enough. Would like to see people get new photo as they pass through different right of passage or change address. And not the creation of another tax. Had to pay twenty dollars a year for employment clearances.

Answer 7

WE HAD THEM WW2 SO IF WE HAVE THEM AGAIN ITS FOR SECURITY REASONS, TERRORISM STILL RIFE, SO ID CARDS COULD SEEK NOUT PEOPLE QUICKER, HOW? THEY'LL HAVE SOME KIND OF METHOD UP THE SLEEVE DONT WORRY, BUT I DONT THINK WE SHOULD PAY FOR THEM AS THATS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ARE PURPOSING TO DO.

Answer 8

Yes, if it was cheaper , but the movement has to make money to pay for the cost of borrowing millions  of pounds  to copy Americans again !

Answer 9

yes it would be great, it would cut crime, it could be id for people for clubs and pubs ect, they could put a chip in it with any medical stuff that paramedics and hospitals would need to know in an emergency, anyone who says its a bad idea i think probably just has something to hide!

it could be an id you could use for all situations from buying drink, opening bank accounts, getting your passport, ect ect

Answer 10

I think we require IDs enough already. You cannot drive, open a bank account, cash pay checks, and more without it. You are already forced to have an ID. Cops already look suspiciously and rightly so on those without ID. More laws, more problems.

Answer 11

I wouldn't be against it. I work in a pub and it would make life so much easier when you ask someone for id. It would also be easier when you get asked for id for opening bank accounts etc.

Answer 12

I don't, I can't trust our government to be able to keep everyones information safe.  Plus I hate the thought of having fingerprints and biometrics on a computer, its creepy!

Answer 13

The governments past and present already know everything about you.

Anyway, what`s to say they won`t lose the discs with all our information on them?

Answer 14

Yes - you definitely need a government that can put a microchip in a piece of plastic (at first - next is your body); put all of your information on it like what you have been buying in your lifetime, your health history, your bank account information, what you ate for dinner last night, who your friends and family are, what you read at night, where you were an hour ago, and EVERYTHING else about you.

That's what governments are for, donchano?

Answer 15

Only if we need to drive and cash checks.

Answer 16

I think the idea is at best total rubbish, and most honestly, is intended to enhance government over the citizen, the ultimate goal being tyranny.

My father's family arrived in America in 1620.  My mother's came as refugees from the Napoleonic Wars in 1817.  In all the time I've had family here, I am the only one to be disgraced with the nonsense of a birth certificate.  Is anyone going to tell me my family were not real Americans?  My mother worked for the State Department (in Iran, among other places!), but according to a law in the state of her birth (Indiana) now being challenged in the Supreme Court, she could not vote because she has no birth certificate and gave up her driver's license when she turned 90.

Fraudsters have no trouble at all faking official documents.  The next step is to implant a chip at birth into everyone.  Then with the proper detectors the govt will know where everyone is at all times, eliminating lost children and all crime, right?

I don't need the g.d. govt to prove who I am.  We were here before the g.d. govt, and it needs to be validated by me and every other American, not the other way around.

The hassle is when the govt decides it does not like what you are doing.  Like the current program where the federal Dept of Education and the FBI cooperate to scan the records of 14 million college students, both the courses they take and their activities.

Maybe some day we'll have a govt that views Americans who buy foreign cars as subverting the economy.  

The USA was supposedly created to have rights for its citizens, not for the convenience of the government.  The Alien and Sedition Acts so outraged Americans that the Federalist Party was destroyed.  The Patriot Act and "signing statements" of George W Bush (a distant relative of mine) are far worse, but after 200 years of freedom Americans seem to have turned into sheep who look to the wolves for their security.

We might as well turn Hawaii, Texas, California, Vermont, Oregon, and Utah/Deseret back into independent nations, and give the rest back to Queen Elizabeth II.

Answer 17

Those of us who are legal already have them....they are called drivers licences.

Answer 18

If a government  department can loose data on millions of child benefit recipients, and the DVLA loose thousands of peoples licence details

What the h**l would happen if ID information were to go missing.? I know that no system is perfect, but come on! how stupid can someone be, to send High security data discs of peoples personal information, including Bank details through the post.As for the DVLA that particular set of information was sent to Ohio of all places, why do they need to send British drivers details to America for processing ?

Answer 19

Hello,

(ANS) No! definitely NOT, having mandatory ID cards would be to set a dangerous & misguided precedence in my opinion. Why? has the New Labor government under Tony Blair and now Gordon Brown been so extremely keen to make all of us have ID cards.

**NOTE: within days of Twin Towers Disaster, Charles Clerk the then Home Secretary admitted on TV and in public that ID cards would NOT have prevented 9/11. Why? because ALL of the Al Quida terrorists had passports i.e. legitimate or forged ID.

**The government already has FAR to much personal information on each citizen than is really strictly necessary.  Now they want to collect more, for what real purposes I ask??

**My personal information should be MY property and should have nothing to do with the government.

**No! government should be trusted with our personal private data or information. Recent events prove that government departments are NOT trust worthy anyway.
