And democracy involves adhering to laws as brought in by an elected Government, or am I wrong there? Perhaps you should be calling yourself "smug anarchist"...?

And this is an anti-democratic measure (have a proper read of Graham's informed posts).
Opposing the erosion of civil rights is hardly being an anarchist.[/QUOTE]
So presumably, if the police ask you to produce a driving licence you object, on the grounds that a) they could check the records without seeing the licence, and b) the licence per se doesn't entitle you to drive, it merely shows you have passed a test which allows you to drive?
Unfortunately, anything that an elected government brings in must be deemed democratic. They are voted in, they act on behalf of the electorate. Someone mentioned, on another thread, that the way to challenge a law is to vote out the government.
I still don't understand your stance on opposing certain laws though.
