But if you actually get away from the "it's taking away my freedom" hysteria, you'll actually think of them as a good thing.
TBH, your opinion could easily be a column in the Daily Mail.
The only issue I see with them, is that numbers of real police (bobbies and patrol cars etc) dwindles with the reliance on them.
ANPR cameras are a great idea i fink. for the tree hugging reasons babs gives
but id cards (which is a misnomer anyway cos ID stands for Identity Document so the word card is redundant) are a pretty poor idea. they won't stop crime and will be easily forged anyway
we have managed pretty well in the uk without compusolry IDs up till now and just coz other countries have them is no reason for us to. i fink it is a basic right that i should be entitled to my privacy as a matter of course.
and like the x-man says, they will be expensive and terribly managed.

but as someone raised the point earlier.........what real effect will ID cards have??
e.g. you could still go and murder, rape, bomb someone, couldn't you. This is the crux of the problem..........its not actually tackling the causes of crime (one of Blair's manifesto pledges).
the july bombings in london were carried out by British citizens, ID cards wouldn't have made a difference.
