Negligent Scandelous Criminal
SO
I was reading about MagicDudes battle with home-affairs to get an ID book
PERHAPS
MagicDude can tell us if he had to give a full set of fingerprints ?
PERHAPS
Someone can tell us -- in detail -- where and how these are stored ( in what format )
Are they "leak-proof"
PERHAPS
MagicDude can tell us what information is contained in the machine code of the Drivers license ? ( a Shaiky shake company )
PERHAPS
MagicDude can tell us about the barcode attached to any ID documentation ?
What are the fields ? -- perhaps he can deconstruct it in the same way he did the ID number
PERHAPS
MagicDude can tell us what information is contained in the new smart card ID ?
and
How a mere mortal ( citizen ) can access it ?
Clearly what this episode shows is that RICA / FICA / every other infringement of a legal law abiding citizens rights to privacy is a MOCKERY.
That many government departments treat this information in a most cursory way
That many ( most ) private commercial companies treat the information in just as bad / negligent way as the rest of the government.
That many ( most) commercial companies only see "dollars" as far as the use of this information is concerned -- caring little or nothing for the person that the information attaches to.
IN the use of this identifier and the completely monopolistic role it plays in South African society -- South Africa emulates many aspects of the worst of the socialist USSR !
I am prepared to bet that this whole thing blows over without ANYONE being held accountable --or -- prosecuted
and
Most South African citizens having NO idea what happened or what it means just carry on without even a little bleat
UNTIL
They suddenly find themselves a victim
THAT
The ANC communist government ( and commercial interests ) decide that the ID and fingerprints are NOW no longer enough
AND
Institute the DNA database
