Bill: Citizens Identification Proposal: Reintroduction (Take 3)
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 2149
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: - Name. - Date of Birth. - Picture. - Should there be State National Insurance introduced, this number will be included. - A security hologram that is included to make forgery as difficult as possible. - 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. - Passport (should holder wish to have the ability to travel abroad). ID's will be printed on reflective plastic and all letters embossed in silver in order to increase the difficulty of creating acceptable forgeries. Passport ID's will be provided with plastic wallets including watermarked paper to allow for the stamping of said passport when travelling abroad. Police will not be given stop and search powers, so ID cards will only need be produced when, as stated, purchasing age restricted materials, and upon voting. ID's will also need to be shown in the event of vehicle accident, along with insurance details. Should the Police require your presence, Citizens have up to one week to report to their local Police Station with their card. For standard retail purchases, the cards will not be required. Should citizens not have their cards, and thusly not be able to produce proof of Identification upon requirement (i.e. after a road accident), 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. |
