Particularly incredible when you consider that in the UK just mentioning the idea of photos on driving licenses inspires even crusty Tories to revolutionary rhetoric about the inviolable freedoms of the individual.
I suppose this kind of sh1t gets passed in a first-past-the-post system that has resulted in the govt having a majority of Stalinesque proportions. And of course the bureaucrats (who know that they know what's best for everyone) act all indignant & surprised that that people don't take their shit lying down.
Viva m-o-o-t! Viva la revolucion!
