I personally have no problem with id cards or fingerprinting as I have no plans on breaking the law!! If anything happened to you or someone you care about, would you not be grateful that fingerprint evidence or dna can be traced back to the crininal quicker.
If you have not done anything wrong and you are accused the government can clear you if your id card said you were somewhere else.
If it makes my life easier and helps me to feel more safe then I have no problem with it.
What are your views?

Yeah I don't know what all the fuss is about with the ID cards. I think it'll make the country safer.
If they've got everyone's DNA, then most criminals will be caught. Who cares if they've got my details, I don't plan on breaking into anyone's house.
So what's the deal? Less attacks, rapes, burglary. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me...

It is NOT a question of whether or not you break the law; it's all a matter of whether or not the government should have this information on you to begin with! First, you do NOT know who has access to this information nor do you know what nefarious intentions someone may have with this information, and the possibilities for abuse are almost limitless!
Secondly, you don't think there's at least ONE government employee who is unethical enough to use, misuse or abuse this information and possibly frame someone for something that other person may NOT have done? Do YOU really trust each and every government employee?
If you have done nothing wrong, WHY should they have this information? It would do them (the government) no good unless you've done something wrong... so...?
Saying that you have nothing to hide is not the right approach. If I go to your home and start looking through your underwear drawer because you "have nothing to hide"... or I enter your home and sit in front of your TV and watch TV all day long and leave your apartment just as you are returning home... or I look through your personal things without taking or harming anything but leaving things as I found them since, after all, I've done nothing wrong and you have done nothing wrong and you have nothing to hide also... why would you object... remember, you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide...
Do you know, by the way, that the vast majority of identity theft occur from within established businesses and institutions such as hospitals, clinics, government offices/agencies and schools, banks, departments of motor vehicles, etc., and anywhere where personal information is kept! Don't be too willing to give up information that can be used to violate YOU in ways you can't imagine! The damages run into the hundreds of millions of dollars annually in the USA in damages... and the gross inconveniences and problems in recovering one's credit and financial status and one's own identity are immense; I KNOW since I've worked in recovering a few identities and repairing credits for a few office clients while some had to go into bankruptcy because of the immense issues with the credit reporting bureaus and their reluctance to cooperate to help the clients... you have no idea!
That's the sort of thing, also, that occurs at any given time within police states where they can abuse and frame anyone who falls out of favor with those in power... for whatever reason!

Please explain to me how an ID card is going to make your life easier or how exactly an ID card can tell the police where you are at a certain time.
The fact of the matter is that you wil be no more safe with a card than without it. If you pay for something on your debit card at a certain time that can tell the police where you were at a certain time!!
Don't just accept things, look into them a little or start bleeting little lamb.

Finger printing drivers who are stopped by the police is stage one of the UK gov plot to stop people walking in the street and finger print them too. Soon, in order to join a bus queue, you'll have to give your finger prints.
The Met Police started finger printing stopped drivers some time ago and instead of collecting the expected 500 stolen cars they ended up after month one with about 5000 - most of which are now stored in the open at Docklands.

Their nostril prints are unique check out your canine's nostril – did you be conscious of that there is somewhat no different nostril like it? The nostril print of a canine is as unique as a fingerprint, and your canine would nicely be surely pointed out the comparable way. The Canadian Kennel membership has established nostril prints as information of id because of the fact 1938. Now a organisation contained in united statesa. is providing a product to become responsive to canines via their nostril prints. the organisation, identity systems Integrators, better a equipment referred to as "Dognose identity" that, in accordance to the internet website, provides a "tamperproof, painless and noninvasive thank you to furnish an enduring record of any canine, everywhere." .

I have a big problem with this, If the people who wanted your fingerprints were the bad people who wanted to enslave you and your family, and destroy your freedom, Which is whats happening now. they can easily fit you up for things you havent done. Would you realy realy trust polititions knowing everything about you and you not knowing what they are upto with that information. your information will be available to the whole world. and centralised in brussels. You must be very green to want to trust authorities who arrrrre daft enough to think they can rule the world and everybody in it without commiting mass murder.

If they wanted to fingerprint you they could take you to the station and do it there anyway.
But I suppose the worry is that lots more people will get fingerprinted than before.
So long as they don't create a big brother type database with everyone's prints on it I'm not bothered.
In fact, not sure I'd be bothered even if they did, since I've got nothing to hide.

As long as there is probable cause, ok. For no purpose other than to obtain an identity, having a number tattooed on everyone's forehead at birth would be far more efficient and no less invasive.

I have never committed a crime so I do not see why I should be finger printed, it is another breach of your freedom, you have the right to say no, so what will happen, the police will then find an excuse to stop you it will be abused I am sure
