According to a police statement, the man was concerned that his privacy might be violated by the microchip that has been embedded in all German IDs since 2010. The man now faces either a fine or time in jail for the offense of illegally modifying official documents. According to German law, identification documents are state property.

No, Germans are not "scared".
We just learned the hard way where a total surveillance state leads.
So will you.
Germany won a lawsuit against Facebook's naming policy.

I'm for a medical 'card' on which my essential would be stored (blood type, allergy, heart disease...) so I could be taken care effectively should I have an accident.
But a chipped ID card, hum...what's on this, to what extend, who can read it/pirate this, can I limit the info's like the one on my passport?

Just my opinion but i would be quite happy to have all my information put on my car licence . Details like name address etc but also a link of some sort to my fingerprints and DNA . It doesnt have to be electronic , perhaps a bar code . I have not done anything illegal , no need to fear having my details on record . To my way of thinking , if you want to rape , rob , murder etc you better be prepared to walk to the scene of the crime . I cannot for the life of me see the downside of that . Well unless you raped someone .
So having my real name, birth date, address, picture (it's on german's card) en.wikipedia.org... on a chip
