UK Going To Require National Biometric ID Cards
 

Just don't bring that "control and know everything about you" idea to the US! They want to database your fingerprints, a scan of your eye, and a digital scan of your face.


LONDON - The British government said Tuesday it wants to introduce compulsory identity cards to protect against illegal immigration, welfare fraud and terrorism ? though implementation is years away.

Home Secretary David Blunkett said the government would introduce the scheme after building a national database of biometric information using fingerprints, iris scans and facial recognition technology.

"An ID card scheme will help tackle the crime and serious issues facing the U.K., particularly illegal working, immigration abuse, ID fraud, terrorism and organized crime," Blunkett said.

The Home Office said "using multiple identities is one of the most common practices of those involved in terrorist activity."

But the issue of identity cards has split Prime Minister Tony Blair's government, with some ministers reportedly claiming that they are too expensive and threaten civil liberties.

Britain has not had compulsory identity cards for ordinary citizens since shortly after World War II. Such ID cards are mandatory in several Western European countries, including Belgium and Germany.

Blair has endorsed the idea in principle, but his office last week said it would take years to resolve the many complex issues surrounding the plan.

Britain is already working on upgrading passports to include chips containing biometric data, and the UK Passport Service will soon begin a six-month biometric pilot to test face, iris and fingerprint capture and recognition technology, the Home Office said. It said officials also planned to use biometric technology for driving licenses.

The information would be used to compile a national database, the Home Office added.

The english will bend over and take in in the ass, I doubt that would go over to good in the US.

This would make the folks who fly the Dixie flags pull out their shotguns and fight back... I hope.

Will never happen. Us Brits fight shit like this.

well here is something to consider - when I moved here drivers liscences didn't have photos on them. The British as a whole are very against idenntity cards of any sort. Don't think they aren't fighting this.

I agree with this, although......... I think it still has some shit to consider before doing so...

Could be a good idea tho :)

saw something like that on dutch news too. fucked up

this is just the fucking start. it's gonna blow up and then we're all gonna be fucked. goddamnit. doesn't anyone remember that goddamn book by george orwell? for christs sake here people! the ministry of love is about to have it's groundbreaking ceremony. :helpme

There'll be huge fucking riots over this,
if it looks like going through.

I don't really care if it goes through or not, I don't have anything to hide.

Really? You think so? We are already putting micro chips in our children in case of abduction... What makes you think that the Government would not make up a few lies to make the people think this is a great thing so they will all get behind it. Trust me.. if they want to do it.. they will and the people will follow like sheep.

Besides, we already have cameras scanning faces in large crowds looking for criminals and other low lifes. I believe that the next super bowl will have these cameras as well...

Spoken like a true pussy.

well said
:glugglug

the last superbowl had those cameras

well said, veteran

Let them come in your house & search through all your shit, your computers, your dumpster, your refrig...you've got nothing to hide.

Let them follow you around, let them read your thoughts...you've got nothing to hide.

Its not about who's innocent, its about your freedom to live a life without someone breathing down your neck.

they already have my fingerprints...:disgust

1984. It's closer than you think.

KRL:

Yep.. well aware! And "over my dead body"! :1orglaugh

There are assholes everywhere! :winkwink:

NBDesign:

I slight difference about UK (and most of Europe) is nobody gives a fuck about governments. They know they try to lie and tell em just that! There ain't any oozing of patriotism there!

But yes, they will try and use excuses like.. "catching criminals", "checking illegal immigrants" and all that nice stuff. The bottom line is.. it's all been tried before and the majority of people don't believe em.

We were born free and that's the way it will stay - least for now
:)

If that doesn't do it I don't know what will...


biometrics are just the new lip tatoos....Helloooooo Winston...


when they do that shit, the only hope is the 2nd Amendment...
