Sorry to hear our UK and EU brothers and sisters will be soon putting up with this.

I didn't find this in the Mail so I guess it might be accurate. LOL

My concern with these kind of proposals is that if you record enough information you will always find things to worry about. Too much information results in micro-management and over-reaction. When it comes to law enforcement, micro-management and over-reaction result in more people being prosecuted - but this is only valuable if the activities being prosecuted were sufficiently detrimental to warrant state intervention.

I don't have a problem with records being used for very specific and targetted management of, say, the terrorist risk. I do have a problem with the state being allowed to data-mine in order to identify and enforce trivial or fanciful cases.

The current level of information recording is high but reasonably well targetted (I am involved in it so I know). The proposals could start to rebalance the relationship of individual and state to an objectionable degree.
