Seen the new finger print machines the Police in the UK have on trial at the minute? They stop you in your car, they take a finger print to check your the owner of said vehicle.
Now, how is that going to work if they don't plan on finger printing every single person in the UK? Oh dear, does it mean they will/want to? you can bet a weeks wages they will do so soon.
Thats not to mention the catch all every arrest means finger printing photo and DNA kept on file forever even if released with no charges.
Communist China doesn't do this for its people, nor did the soviet union. Great to be 'bri'ish ain't it'.

Its also now illegal to even carry scissors in a public place due to the "rise" in crime, per head crime hasn't risen, even the police come on the news and say crime is dropping. Unfortunately the media disagree and as usual they get the side of the people and get things changed.
They do seem to trial things here in the UK.
Edit: Thought I should clarify that I may be wrong when it comes to the crime rates as I haven't checked it out myself of late. I was just pointing out that the media fuels the fear in the UK most often than not and that now we cant even carry simple tools with even small blades in case we want to stab people. The exception to this rule is if you need it for your job or if the blade is less than 3 inches.
Oh and I remembered some other things to add.
They can stop and search anyone on the street now to check for said bladed objects.
We cant protest within a good distance of the houses of parliament.
Those with a history containing certain mental disorders can be taken and locked up at any time. (needs verifying as it was a good friend with a certain disorder who told me of this)
If you have served time in prison you cant protest without arrest..

Having been a good boy for 38 years and never been fingerprinted before, how would scanning my finger tell if i am the owner of the vehicle when my fingerprint details are not on record (as far as I am aware). I would be more concerned if I was scanned and they WERE on record !!
