| 847168 | 2010-01-09 00:00:00 | We were all issued with Identity Cards during the war in the UK, no problems. My number was ZT987884C, later it was used as a National Insurance number. |

Edit: Google also threw this up: "1952: system lapses It is unlikely that the identity card system would have been abandoned had it not been for the test case of Willcock v Muckle (1951,49 LGR 584). In this case a driver was stopped in connection with a motoring offence and asked to produce his card. On his refusal to do so, either then or subsequently, lie was charged with an offence under Section 6(4). When the case reached appeal in the King's Bench Division, Lord Chief Justice Goddard delivered a ferocious attack upon police practice: "Because the police have powers, it does not follow that they ought to exercise them on all occasions as a matter of routine. From what we have been told it is obvious that the police now, as a matter of routine, demand the production of a National Registration Card whenever they stop or interrogate a motorist for whatever cause ... This Act was passed for security purposes: it was never intended for the purposes for which it is now being used" www.statewatch.org Edit no 2:www.ambaile.org.uk "1. Always carry your Identity Card. You must produce it on demand by a Police Officer in uniform or member of HM Armed Forces in uniform on duty. 2. You are responsible for this Card, and must not part with it to any other person. You must report at once to the local National Registration Office if it is lost, destroyed, damaged or defaced. 3. If you find a lost Identity Card or have in your possession a Card not belonging to yourself or anyone in your charge you must hand it in at once at a Police Station or National Registration Office. 4. Any breach of these requirements is an offence punishable by a fine or imprisonment or both." |

I sure as hell cant be bothered moving my licence from 10 vehicles a day. It stays in my wifes car. When pulled up by the HVU I just get told to produce it within 7 days so I drop into Henderson police station and show it. Never had a ticket for it never will. Like I would carry my gun licence when I am up the mountains shooting bambi or running through the bush after porky. You being an ex traffic cop might be a model citizen I am not consider myself more of a rebel against authority. |

| 847172 | 2010-01-09 00:40:00 | Have you ever considered carrying a license in a wallet? It would save you going to the police station to produce the same. A good place to carry cards that allow you to buy things as well. |
