Comment Testing the New ID card (Score 1) 191
I reckon this is a smokescreen for testing the future UK ID card and trialling cross database functionality.
As previous comments have said, there are cheaper and already in-place ways of determining someones identity. That is, any offence has now become arrestable, so if a Police Officer thinks he cannot determine someone's identity he/she has the ability to arrest them, finger print and DNA test down at the local cop shop.
Like I said, I reckon these new fingerprint devices are being tested to see if they actually work with the coming National ID database and testing the data sharing of the future National ANPR (automatic number plate recognition)system, the PNC (Crime Database) and any other database they want to add to it.
You can bet that when our UK RFID ID Card comes in, the estimated 5 million CCTV camera's will be upgraded to log our ID every time we pass one, so everything we do, at any time will be logged as soon as we step out of our house.
