換發身份證按指紋的事情

上看到 UK anti-ID card campaign Gains Momentum 這篇文章在講英國的 發起了一項宣示 (Online Pledge) 活動:

“I will refuse to register for an ID card and will donate £10 to a legal defence fund but only if 10,000 other people will also make this same pledge.”

這邊的 ID card 是指包含生物特徵 (Biometric,這邊主要是指「指紋」) 的 ID card。

而一連進 的網頁,就看到台灣暫停身份證換發時必須按奈指紋的新聞:()

The Chinese Council of Grand Justices has just stopped in its tracks the Taiwanese government’s plans to impose compulsory fingerprinting on all Taiwanese citizens, declaring the move unconstitutional. This, after the People’s Republic of China abandoned universal fingerprinting due to cost and logistics.
