Not such a big deal. We've had ID cards for years here in Malta and its great.

the new driving licence might as well be an ID card

but do they reserve the right to search your computer...hmmm, you need a search warrant for that in Aus and the USA

Nope, they need a warrant as well.

i think they have to get a warrant here too, but it's easier to get. my ex works for the police, which means this will bug me untill i phone her...which will p*** her off and i'll be in the doghouse and it's all your fault Taytaz

lol, i sincerely apologise for setting the wrath of a Scottish woman upon you

Actually there's a tricky loop hole here in the US with laptops. A warrentless seizure and search of a computer can be committed against a person who either crosses the border or is in the "border territory, which constitutes the 50 miles inland from the actual border. This comes out to roughly 70% of the population. Although unlikely that it will be used against any person it is unsettling. Might I add that under the guise of "anti-terror" laws most rules police and federal agents originally needed to follow are no longer applicable if you simply apply the word Terrorist. I work for a security company and we received warnings about the workers rights group ACORN, using language to suggest that they were terrorists and if sighted to be reported as domestic terrorists. What a farce.

what does this has to do with erep?

Move to off topic We need to keep our forums nice and clean. Organisation is a great thing, only if it's correct though.

I don't see a problem with this, it's basicly a threat to companies holding the ID card data, if you don't keep this information secure we're going to town on your behind.
