I don't particularly have a problem with ID cards, so long as I don't have to carry it around with me, don't have to show it to anyone and don't have to pay for it.
I'd just lock it away along with my passport, driving license, EHIC, Birth Certificate etc....
The thing that I don't get about ID cards is they are supposed to help in the fight against identity theft and terrorism. Surely the Government and others could help in that by keeping our personal data secure. As for terrorists, it seems to me that they wouldn't bother too much, since they seem to like posting videos on the internet advertising exactly what they've done.
Watching programs about celebrity cribs, boasting huge plasma tvs in every room, and flash cars for every day of the week, not to mention obscene amounts of bling, its difficult to feel any sympathy for someone like who thinks they might have had some of their copyrighted material downloaded for free.
According to the Data Protection Act:
As an individual you may claim compensation from the data controller for damage or distress caused by any contravention by a data controller under the requirements of the Data Protection Act.
The laughable thing is we'd end up paying for our own compensation.
