If the government can get one piece of information so wrong, what will
happen when we have ID cards which will store lots more information
about people?
I spoke on surveillance law at the North West DP Group Conference a
couple of weeks ago.
They also had a speaker from the No To ID Cards group who had lots of
interesting things to say. I would urge all DP officers to look at their
website:

Did you know that, from October of this year, as preparation for the ID
scheme, ALL first-time passport applicants will have background checks
and be interviewed by officials at one of the government's 69 new
'enrolment centres'?
They are asking us to renew our passports now to avoid having to give
excessive data to the government.
