Of course not everyone has a mobile phone, nor can they be carried on your person all the time.
However is that a problem? I’m tracked anyway by my family deliberately for safety reasons. I’m also tracked by my cycling computer software.
In any case you are tracked anyway if you have a mobile phone.
At this point in time I carry in my wallet at least 6 identity cards in one form or another. I forget I have a bank and 2 credit cards as well.
Library, driving, 4 for various clubs membership cards, health card etc. I am ignoring my phone.
Everybody and I mean everybody should have their identity information with them at all times if for nothing else than safety.
Therefore I think it best that everyone has a identity card with them at all times.
Let us have a NHS card with our photo regularly updated and other vital information that has to be carried at all times.
I could not care less if people know where I am at anytime, in fact it may be a good thing.
The only people that will not like an ID card is criminal's and other undesirables.
Can you give a good reason why you should not carry an ID card.
Don’t come back with the counterfeit thing that’s nowt to do with normal people.
Thinking back there are times when an ID card could have been very usefully had things taken a turn for the worse, thank goodness they didn’t.
Do you carry a next of kin card with you, probably not but you should. Mine need updating as faded etc.
In some other countries ID is required. Travel to the EU and new regs apply is it next month? Your passport is an ID card isn’t it!
Your car is tracked anyway by cameras on major roads and speed cameras. There are now face recognition cameras out there.
So any tracking objections are pointless anyway.
Food for thought.
