The Dutch government wants a database with the fingerprints of all Dutch citizen older then 6 year. Another blow in the face of privacy. Why not implant directly a rfid chip in each person, then they can check directly where someone has been and has done?
And even when this idea of the Dutch government is not allowed by the basic human rights, the greatest part of the Dutch government approves this idea.
Why they want this? It is good for fighting crime they say… and that is not proofed at all. Neither that such database will improve safety.
In 2007 The Netherlands got the Big Brother award because of the not caring citizen (“Why should I care? I have nothing to hide!”). Figures… we Dutch only care about our imagery saftey, that doesn’t exist… oh, and what is in our wallet is of course important.
Well, I do care about my privacy… and luckily I am not alone. It is about time this “Big Brother” government is stopped and fast!
