I already answered a post where I asked the question should we have ID cards. Clint did answer it so sorry but thought it would be better as a stand alone post. So should we?
same fine as when having no drivers license when driving anyway).
And if you have something to hide, get a false one.Why not, I already have one my driving licence it has my photo on it as does my bus pass, if you have nothing to hide then yeah
I agree with kelper on this one. We should all have to have one, but not necessarily have to carry it all the time. If I get stopped (in the UK) for having a brake light out, for example, I have to take my papers to the police station within 24 hrs. that seems fair enough. More to the point is the residency card for foreign nationals who are legitimately looking for a job or accommodation.From the age of 12 or so: yes. And a fine when not in possession, depending on the age (12-14: low fine, 15-17: medium fine, 18 and up: same fine as when having no drivers license when driving anyway).
Bank cards have no photos, so no ID.
Addendum: that would be €104 here in the NLs, so about €25 for kids and €50 for adolescents.
We are not forced to carry our licences in the U. K.
Not strictly, no.

But that used to be different in 1999.

It may not be great for civil liberties but would help with many things such as purchasing alcohol, sharp implements and other restricted goods also save police time as how many times on these police programs do we see people wasting police time by not giving correct names and addresses. I too have no problem as I have nothing to hide. I guess some people will object on civil liberty grounds but the majority of objectors I would think have something to hide or think they may have in the future. Going on to the next stage what about a DNA record?
I would only agree to this for the police authority to be able to access this info only as if it does get into the tech sector it could definitely be mis-used. Only thinking of all the unsolved crimes that could help the police and therefore make them more efficientI've no problems with an ID card but DNA record is a different matter. We're all aware of how tech companies (mis)use our data/personal information, they'd only do it with that too.
Off to the tower you naughty boy how very dare youI think ID cards would be a gross infringement of my rights, and an unacceptable shift of power from the individual to the state.
I would refuse to carry one, and would regard any state action to force me to carry one as an illegitimate aggression by the state.
So, forum friend's, what punishment are your going to meter out to me and my family?
