Bill: Government-issued identity card policy.
Details
Submitted by[?]: Education Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: April 3054
Description[?]:
National identification cards can be used to track an individual. In order for the national identification card to be usable by the government, a national database containing personal information would have to be created. This database is an invasion of privacy. However, if the government chooses not to create this database, then it will be too easy for individuals to commit fraud by having multiple cards with different identities. |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This is absurd! Obviously identity cards are to be used to track individuals, and know who they are. The national database is currently in place. It is not a 'invasion of privacy' it is protecting other people from drug dealers, and people who are simple criminals. While I ensure you, that not many, if not no one has multiple identity cards. It is simple to uncover and know by for example finger prints etc. This would be incredibly irresponsible! |

Message | Mr. Speaker, We are concerned about the civil liberties implications of having a compulsory national identity card system. A voluntary system would be preferable. |

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
