In the Name of Security : UK ID Card Drama

Video Title :	In the Name of Security : UK ID Card Drama
Description :	In 2009, the UK national ID card scheme is in full swing. Leave home without one and you're a suspect. Benjamin Novak chooses to opt-out of the scheme on ethical grounds. When police are called in to investigate the vandalism of his business, he finds the investigation taking a disturbing turn - he himself is detained whilst the authorities 'verify his identity'. Ben quickly finds himself in a test of courage against a hot-shot detective, and facing a family he doesn't recognise anymore... DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS... This was the final film made as part of my BA (Hons) Television Production degree at Bournemouth University. I wanted to make a film that was provocative and would encourage debate on an issue that I feel is extremely important: mandatory ID cards. BBC News clips are used under the Creative Commons licence, from the BBC News Open Archive. Almost every shot in the film is handheld, and hopefully this gives it a greater sense of realism (this element was inspired by the awesome Battlestar Galactica). As it's set in the future, there's an issue of getting the audience to suspend their disbelief, and I think the doc-style was ultimately the right choice (if a little too shaky at times). What do you think about the film, and the ID cards debate? This film is made by a filmmaker based in Wigan, Manchester, United Kingdom.

I don't want to be barcoded and ID cards are stupid, is no-one allowed any privacy any more? Gordon Brown is an idiot.

RFID chips are so easily hacked, that it's embarrassing. watch?v=vmajlKJlT3U this government doesn't understand the first thing about RFID, let alone sell it as "security" that's like saying white is black.

I don't know why you keep getting spammed. I think you are totally right big brother is already here. All insurance company information is shared through the internet. The Health Service is on one central computer - eventually everything will be available to the police anyway at the click of a mouse. ID cards aren't such a bad idea - Europe have had them for years and guess what they don't have the immigration problems we have or the crime rate. Ignore the pussy! He sound retarded!

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Simply give me your fingerprints, iris scan, DNA, political views and affiliations, and I shall continue to ensure you safety. Any dissenters will not be tolerated and shall be duly reprimanded. Sieg Heil.

You've got that right. I'd like to travel in England ... but the mandated submission of biometrics puts me off the idea. Hope no-one gets the idea of implementing that rubbish over here.

Resist, Great Britain. The spirit of de Montfort lives!

I find it interesting that the people the Government have on their side , always state they have nothing to hide,

if this happens every politician is going to petrol and fireworks through their letter box

Not to mention that the ID cards are a pre-requisite to the Digital Angel Verichip (human microchip aka MARK OF THE BEAST!) via a tip-toe agenda. Easy does it now, lets not alarm the masses too much! Strip their freedoms slowly, so they don't notice! Time to wake up!!

for fuck sake mate hitler did this kind of thing why the fuck should i be barcoded oh and i can see that the english goverment has fooled you into thinking that being barcoded is a good thing, i tell you what if you think its such a good idea why dont you go and get yourself put on the uk gov dna registar if you think its a good idea and why dont you write all your letters on a postcard so everyone can read it if you got nothing to hide then why do you put all your letters in a sealed envolope??
