I D cards are a good idea with regards to proving identity and to stop fraud. I also agree that if you have done nothing wrong there is nothing to be afraid of. With all the cameras they have on the streets these days and security at the airports etc. the authorities know most of whats going on anyway.
I dont know how things are over there these days,but in Canada,your photo is on the driving licenses,health cards and such. This is in an attempt to stop fraud with illegal immigrants,for example, not being able to abuse the system which I am sure is much more of a problem over there than here.
One major difference is that over here you dont have to pay for these things and I would suggest that the money saved from people abusing the system over there would more than compensate for the cost of these cards.
Just a thought!
