£2500 fine planned for ID card evasion

The Sunday Telegraph is reporting that that proposed fine for not having an ID card will be £2500. A Conservative party constitutional affairs spokesman said

"There is growing concern among the public about Labour's use of invasive 'Big Brother' computer databases - without transparency or clear backing from the public - such as for the forthcoming council tax revaluation.

I believe local residents will be alarmed at the further prospect of town hall bureaucrats being told to investigate people's homes for ID cards, backed up with the threat of thousand-pound fines."

Local electoral registration officers will be required to police the scheme.
