How is having an ID card a requirement to tattoo a number on your arm? Nobody is advocating for mandatory "ID please" checkpoints everywhere, merely providing a standardized way to pass through existing checkpoints (AML/KYC in the bank, etc).
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoWe had a trial run of "papers please" just a couple of years ago. You were forbidden from traveling more than 1km from your house lest you get fined 1500 euros.
- brigandish 3y ago> Nobody is advocating for mandatory "ID please" checkpoints everywhere Why would anyone who wanted mandatory "ID please" checkpoints advocate for them before introducing ID cards when: a) it makes no sense to advocate for them prior, there’s a natural sequence of dependencies. b) it would hinder the introduction of ID cards and hence, mandatory "ID please" checkpoints.
