Given the current situation in Zimbabwe, I think you might have found a better argument in favour of your point of view. Consider how the ID cards of innocent Zimbabwean citizens are now being used by a corrupt regime to keep tabs on them and control their movements. And consider how short a time ago it was that Zimbabwe appeared to be the leading democracy in Africa. I don't want this kind of big brother information in the hands of a faceless bureaucracy. Once they have it, our power to restrict how they use it is negligible.
