Bill: National Identification Cards
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ikradone Nationalsozialistische Partei
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: July 2323
Description[?]:
| We at the Ikradone Nationalsozalistische Partei feel that an instituted National Identification Card and mandatory carrying of said card would provide for better saftey and security for the Ikradonian people, as well as provide for ease and convienence for all people. Most people have bank accounts, driver's liscenses, club memberships, etc, that they all have membership cards for, as well as their issued National ID. What this bill proposes is that all of those cards be centralized into one National Identification Card. These cards would be encoded with the DNA of the person it is being issued to, therefore it would be completely un-forgable. They would have the face and name of the individual on them, but no more visual displays. To activate the card, a sensor on the ID card would identify the individual holding it via DNA matching and either activate or deactivate the card. To use the card, it would be swiped through whatever it needs to be -- a door lock for clubhouses and government buildings, a device on police cards to transfer the information back to the Police HQ (assuming one is pulled over), authorization to the banks to confirm it is the person who owns the account doing the transaction -- and sent to the central databases for wherever it needs to go. The government will maintain a mainframe system with all of the information on the card, however, use of the mainframe unit will be highly restricted, and only by authorization of a judge via warrant. This will ease the burden on all citizens, and make people's lives just a little bit easier, and less stressful. |

| Message | 1) Everything is forgable. 2) Minor inconvenice for major compromise of individual liberty? The personal security implications of losing your card? Identity theft? How on earth will so many different kinds of purposes be incorporated? It's surprising these fellas want to ban drugs, they seem to be using so much of them. |

| Message | Your notion of "liberty" and "freedom" is hyper-stretched to the point of absurdity, and it would be entertaining if it wasn't for its sheer perversion. In case you were not aware, National Identification Cards are ALREADY MADE. As with all things government, there is a paper trail, therefore, already a centralized source of information. There are ABSOULTELY NO EXTRA CURBS ON YOUR PRECIOUS "LIBERTY" BEING INITIATED. What IS happening, however, is the cards being even more secure to the point of basically being unforgable. Also, if a card is lost or stolen, one could go to the local government office, and with proper proof (a minimum of three testings of DNA from locations chosen at random as to prevent the possibility of forgery), the card would immediately be voided, and a new one given. The same would happen for losing your card. At that point, the card would have absolutely no value except for fuel for the family fireplace. And Social Republicn Party, you're already paying for them. |

| Message | So if you just want to make everyone's life easier, why make it mandatory to carry them? What are you going to do to people who don't have their cards? Are we going to have spot checks of people? You're making absolutely no sense. If you want to see a perversion, look in the mirror. It's people like you which are what is wrong with the world. Don't even talk about my notion of liberty when you don't have one yourself and evidently care for nothing about it. And who the hell is going to pay for the three DNA tests? They're not cheap, let alone three of them. |

| Message | We ask that the INP define "liberty" so that we can better understand its point. |

| Message | That would really be interesting...The LDRP would really like to hear that, too. |

| Message | Three DNA testings aren't necessarily needed -- it just sounded like an acceptable number. Other safeguards could be in place. As for liberty: Liberty is generally the freedom to do what one wishes, as long as it is not violating the well-being of others. However, this definition is twisted by parties like yours to mean a virtual state of perpetual social anarchy, which is completely unacceptable, as rampant disorder and immorality is violating the well-being of others and digs away at the strong foundations of the community. As for national identification cards, making them mandatory would not be a curb on this precious "liberty" of yours. If anyone had any REAL problems with it, it would have been with their initial distribution in the first place, anything less is hypocritical. What we are doing is giving multifold purpose to a programme already in place, and this multifold purpose will only serve to benefit the people of Ikradon, as there are too many safeguards in the process of aquiring unauthorized information that will be in place for it to be effective, and as there are no tracking devices, sound recorders, or cameras, the "right" to privacy is not infringed. As for recording transactions -- the credit cards, debit cards, etc, do this already. The government should be trusted more than a corporation, as the corporation has only its interests in heart, while the government's responsibility is the Ikradonian people. |
