I don’t understand why people object to ID cards. I’d have no issue whatsoever having one (although the current proposal seems to be that they would only be required to work, and I’m retired). It’s the same with CCTV that some people complain about. If I’m ever the victim of crime I’d be very pleased to be able to support a prosecution with CCTV evidence. If you’ve got nothing to hide and you’re not doing anything dodgy then I can’t see why people would object to any of these things, especially if they prevent fraud and other illegal activities that ultimately us law abiding citizens pay for!
