| Message | We fully oppose the dangerous practice of re-constructing a national database abundant with extremely sensitive personal data. Contrary to the belief that this will cut crime, this will only cause an increase in identity theft and will be particularly hazardous in criminal prosecutions, whereby it will be infinitely easier to frame a suspect under the false pretences of "biometrical evidence". |

| Message | We like it, although it's a little halfhearted. |
| Date | 01:02:53, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | This is the TYPICAL Gov't scam in which the State "pretends" to let the National ID system be "voluntary" but eventually gives ECONOMIC incentives (or penalties) to individuals that don't opt in the system. It is a SHREWD-but-successful "bait-and-switch" strategy. We are not amused. |
| Date | 01:20:44, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Identity |
| Message | There is no suggestion here that the ID cards are voluntary. Only carrying them. Once again, the CWFP seems to be tilting at windmills. |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
