Bill: Citizens Identification Proposal: Reintroduction
Details
Submitted by[?]: We Say So! Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2087
Description[?]:
| In order to make it easier for Police to make quick identification of people in criminal procedures, and to guarentee that those entering voting booths are entitled to vote, all citizens will be provided by Government supplied Identity Cards. These cards may also be used to check proof of age on minors when attempting to purchase illicit materials. The cards will, however, be limited to containing only limited information so as not to make them to intrusive. Information contained will be: 1. Name. 2. Date of Birth. 3. Picture. 4. Should there be State National Insurance introduced, this number will be included. 5. A security hologram that is included to make forgery as difficult as possible. They will also be printed on reflective plastic and all letters embossed in order to increase the difficulty of creating acceptable forgeries. Police will not be given stop and search powers, so ID cards will only be need produced when, as stated, purchasing age restricted materials, and upon voting. Should the Police require your presence, Citizens have up to one week to report to their local Police Station with their card. For all other purchases, the cards will not be required. AMMENDMENT This ammendment would be an extension of the current legislation regarding Identity Cards (see above). Additional Card information included after former Bill. - Magnetic strip containing information about Library usage and borrowing. - Drivers Licence details (should holder have a valid licence or provisional licence). - Information on whether citizen wishes to not donate their organs after death. As per the request of the majority of our citizens the We Say So! Party would like to put up for consideration this ammendment to our current legislature. Current legisalture would still be enacted for the people, as per the Citizens Identification Proposal (above), with the only ammendment being that citizens would be required to hold their cards at all times. Should citizens not have their cards, and thusly not be able to produce proof of Identification upon request, then they would be required to pay an on the spot fine of, but not greater than, 1hrs minimum wage, before presenting themselves at a local law enforcement facility within one week of said request. All other rights within the original Citizens Identification Act would be protected. Should said requirement be ignored, then said citizen would be placed under arrest and brought before a Court of Law to determine the penalty to which they should face. |

| Message | This is needed to ensure a real ID card law. I prefer to abolish the card altogether but as stated above it is needed for the citizen to function in Hobrazia and it is relatively safe against privacy abuse. I will support. |

| Message | I'll support as well. |

| Date | 23:31:22, July 27, 2005 CET | From | Social Democratic Liberal Party | To | Debating the Citizens Identification Proposal: Reintroduction |
| Message | Personally, I felt that the existing legislation was perfecly adequate in allowing "the citizen to function" without imposing a requirement to carry ID cards on individuals, which many view as an infringement on personal privacy. Not that it will do much good, but we will be voting no on this. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
