I'm all for Photo and Finger Print ID Cards. It should be made mandatory
to
carried your ID at all times, and detention or a spot fine imposed if
you're
found without one.

I admit that I can't see any problem with having them. But as for having
them with you at all times - I don't carry anything at all times, if I did
I'd probably lose it.

For instance, I've just been up to the football field with Spoouse to try
out his new electric plane. I took a camera and handkerchief, nothing else.
We walked so not even any keys. No need for money, purse, anything. I had no
pocket so where would I have put an ID card?

I take only what I need wherever I go.

Just think of the implications if someone is arrested after breaking in to
a
house. If they don't have an ID card on them, then it is automatically an
arrestible offence, and if they can't produce a qualified ID card within a
certain time frame, then another offence is added to the original crime.
If
they produce a forged ID, then the offence is automatically doubled or
tripled.

Ah - well I've no intention of breaking into a house.

What a different society we'd all see, I think.

I think you're probably right - or would be if it weren't for solicitors.
