If you have nothing to hide, can you send me your finger prints on an acetate please I can make good use of them. Oh and if you want to send me you credit card numbers, expiry dates etc I can find a use for those as well.

They can't make us Adults routinely give our fingerprints / DNA, but do it to our kids at school where the Parents have no idea, and you get all the information you need.
I have nothing to hide. I'm not a criminal, have never murdered anyone (yet) but if I was asked by a copper to give my fingerprints for no apparent reason, I'd refuse.

Identity theft is happening now, we want to be storing less personal information on computers not more.

Get all the information you need now, ie fingerprints, DNA. Then in years to come introduce the ID cards. They already have lots of information, so all they have to do is invoice you for the card.
Reduces the cost of getting everyones fingerprints, DNA later.

Refuse to allow your son to have his fingerprints taken. See what they say. He's not a criminal so they have no rights to take his fingerprints, and they are not the Police. Refuse.
Labours back door attempts to get everyones information.

Interesting post on this at NO2ID!!!
...but sadly the government will keep on trying, spending our money until they eventually get a working "Library System"
Then they will scale it up for adults, but this time it might cost a little more (and take a little longer)

They don't take any action for vandalism any more, its only the electorate who have to suffer after all.
I think this is a travesty of our future freedoms. They have no right to take our biometric details in such an underhand way. OllyK is right, it is a gross danger to those of us who have nothing to hide. That is the most stupid excuse to make for their transgressions. As DCI says, "1984" is on the horizon.
