Bill: Bill on I.D cards
Details
Submitted by[?]: Mordusian Freedom Group
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: November 3300
Description[?]:
| Currently we have it in legislation that all citizens are issued with identity cards and are required to carry them at all times. We in MFG believe that this is an assault on civil liberties as 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 was created. This database itself is an invasion of privacy. There is also an issue with the issue that many citizens feel that this increases the powers of the authorities. Why have citizens got to carry an internal passport to move around in the state. The effects it has on terrorism has been argued against by experts including those from the major universities in Mordusia. With an increased fear of fraud. Lastly the costs to set this up where extremely high however the yearly running costs for this scheme have also been extremely high as well |

| Message | Our meetings have authorized us to support this bill. Requiring people to carry identification is one step in the slippery slope of surveillance of movement and activities of the population. The practice should be ended. |

| Message | We would support a compromise: "All citizens are issued with identity cards but are not required to carry them." |

| Message | With the support of the UASJ we will move this to a vote. We cannot support the Conservitive party's compromised motion as we believe that forcing people to have one is the issue here |
