MessageOur party sees many inconveniences with current legislation.We are mostly concerned with practical aspect of this legislation.If people carry IDs on them at all times, they are bound to lose them more often.This would mean spending more money on making the new ones, more paper work.Also, what if a citizen wants to go to swim?What if they are wearing clothes without any pockets?Etc, etc.We would much prefer to change this legislation as proposed.

MessageClothes without pockets are rather limited in number, however most of these people would generally be carrying some form of bag or purse/wallet. The I.D. card would easily be contained within these items without difficulty.
We would also point out the benefits of carrying I.D. cards, especially in the event of serious accidents. People can easily be identified and records can then be accessed without worrying whether they are the wrong records or not, this could be crucial in medical emergencies.

MessageAs we explained earlier, when doing sports/physical exercise/swimmng etc. this law can't be put in practice.
We do understand your arguments concerning accidents and medical emergencies, however, we think the ideal solution would be to micro-chip citizens, yes, just like pets.Then, the practical issue would be solved once and for all.As it stands now, we are opposed to current legislation and hope for a change.

MessageWould not microchips infringe civil liberties more than carrying a standard issue I.D. card?
And when someone is doing sports/exercises/swimming etc, this law can easily still be implemented. People don't tend to just show up at a swimming pool already in their swimming costumes without clothes or a bag for a towel.

ToDebating the Freedom of Identity Bill 2080
MessageIf you read the law then the only way someone swimming/doing exercise/etc. could be asked for their ID card is if they were to be arrested or as witness to a crime. And like the WSS said they should have brought it with and left in a locker. As for microchipping that would be a step up from this and the views for dong that are contradicatory to this bill.

In short, no.

MessageAlso how can you claim to be "supporting civil liberty" when you want to micro-chip the whole population!

ToDebating the Freedom of Identity Bill 2080
MessageMicro chipping is encroaching everyone's civil liberties, which we are fundamentally opposed to in the USM. In fact, we regard ID cards as being wasteful and leading to a police state.

ToDebating the Freedom of Identity Bill 2080
MessageMicro-chipping is not on legislation as far as we know.We were comparing it to current law, would be easier to implement, that's all.
We understand the need of having IDs in certain circumstances, for verification purposes, medical emergencies, etc.But forcing individuals to carry IDs on them at all times is against our party's principles.

ToDebating the Freedom of Identity Bill 2080
MessageI prefer this bill to forcing citizens to carry ID's. In the future I would prefer a bill that eliminates the ID law all together. But this is a fair enough compromise for now.

Random quote: "Soldiers are not the enemies of the movement. They're potential allies. They're more than that. Soldiers are the only people in America who are paying a stiff price for this war. Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner
