ID cards

[zaferali]

should every one carry an electronic ID card? it has it's pro's and it has it's cons depending upon what your aims maybe? I carry one and it opens doors very easily saving time.

Everyone carries one already

Nope....it is unfair to subject an individual to it unless they are from another country, in which case they should carry one for the duration of that time in whatever country they are in. The Italians have to carry one ALL the time and if they don't and are stopped without it, they are immediately carted off to a cell. I find it offensive that I should have to carry one in the country I was born in, where our name can be traced back over 300 years. Nah screw that I forget my head if it wasn't bolted on lolol

Similar to the US... here, if you don't have an ID (or under 18) and get pulled over, you can be arrested. Depends on the situation, and how difficult you make it being an ass to the cops.

If under 18, you have to be able to have someone vouch for you (parents/sibs)... and if you don't cooperate with the cops, more than likely they'll haul you in until they can ID you.

Except to vote in some states....go figure. Gotta show ID to fill a prescription, go to see the doctor or put your own cash into the bank. We are living in cartoon times it seems.

ID about what ?

I think the op is asking whether you keep a copy of your identification on your phone rather than physical identification. I'm not quite sure since his question is a little vague, unless he talking about a security chip embedded in your physical identification.
Me personally, I ALWAYS keep fake identification at hand, opens a lot of doors for me as well, even if they are locked.

I don't need ID for a script, to see the dr. Money deposits in the bank have to be made with ID otherwise how would the bank know what account its going into....we've had proof of ID for years, there was even a special card you could apply for if you didn't have any photo ID for shops etc Especially, alcohol and fireworks.

Most of the time I don't even carry a phone with me, let alone ID. I do believe this though.....before illegals are kicked out of the country, they should have their biometrics taken so that we know if they try to enter the country again. It would be immediate deportation instead of waging war with the courts of european court of human rights. There are no rights for criminals in my eyes

I believe the OP is asking if people should have a chip implanted on their person, sort of like the chips you put in your pets so that if they're lost, you can be identified as their owner. If that is indeed the question, I am against it in principle as it probably violates some right to privacy. However, in practice I see many advantages, such as automatically unlocking doors you are authorized to enter like your house and your car (it could also serve to allow you to start and drive your car). It could serve as your ID at the bank (just scan it at the teller) and to make purchases anywhere there is a scanner. You could have a scanner attached to your computer or an app on your phone to allow for online purchases, thus negating the need to keep that information on your computer or phone. It could also include your medical history in case of an emergency (only authorized medical personnel would be able to read it).

I'm sure there are other applications for such a chip, we'd just have to invent and use some form of security to keep crooks from reading your chip. Anyway, that's my take on what I think the OP is asking.​

I have to put enough into my body already without having some kind of ID chip inserted into me lol

 

[Weaserlorian]

People are afraid of the chip, thinking it's some sort of sign of the beast LOL if it was offered I would take it. I think the idea is cool and way more convenient. I think the less I need to carry around the better LOL.

 

[zaferali]

I was not thinking of a chip implant but a chip on an ID card that can be read by a card reader if needed, just like a passport has a chip, but an ID card that can be seen visually (face and details) and used in a card reader. If you were born in a country it proves it and also if you have been in prison.

 

[Weaserlorian]

Either way I use one LOL
