IF anyone has any doubt of the dangers to innocent people of the State running an ID system and demanding fingerprints of every honest citizen, then I hope they consider the news that 1,500 ordinary honest people were falsely catalogued as criminals by the Criminal Records Board.

Will any of us be able to check the database behind the government ID system? Of course not.

Residents who resent having to pay extra for passports so they can be fingerprinted like criminals should obtain passports before October this year.

Please visit the website www.No2ID.org.uk to see how the state wishes to enforce ID cards by stealth.
