There is a precedent in the UK. ID cards were introduced during WWII and originally were used for four tasks. By the end of the war and afterwards the scope creep had increased to something like 37. Police were demanding to see Id when driving and it was one motorist (Harry Willcock) who refused and when it came to court the Judge agreed and ID cards were scrapped.
