I have no objection to an ID card.
I do, however, object to:
- Being required to have that card on my person at all times (we don't have that now, we've never needed it, I see no need to implement such a policy in a country that hasn't required it)
- Needing to present that card to anyone other than a government official with a specified need to see it (i.e. not every job interview, rental agreement, shop, etc.)
- Allowing queries on the underlying database for anything other than law enforcement and court-ordered actions.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
