A friend of mine a few years back was a member of a communist party political something or other.....basically students.
He was later arrested because he matched a desription of a wanted murderer. (yes honestly this is true). Once in the police station it was revealed to him that he had a government file that listed him as a political subversive.
Now this file would also include all his family, friends and aquaintences.
This makes me a political subversive by association, if the gov DO have this kind of info on me then a simple ID card cannot allow the gov to hold any more frightening info about me than they already have.
Any info stored that would cut out a) credit fraud b) benefit fraud c) any other kind of criminal activity that involves stolen ID's is in my mind perfectly OK.
