Nine held in ID card demo
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
NINE protesters were arrested in Edinburgh yesterday following a demonstration at government plans to introduce ID cards.
The arrests, all in connection with breach of the peace offences, were made at the Barcelo Carlton Hotel.
The North Bridge hotel was the venue for a discussion on the scheme between Meg Hillier, the Home Office minister for identity, and business and local-authority representatives.
All those arrested were members of NO2ID, an anti-ID card campaign group, including Geraint Bevan, its Glasgow organiser.
A report will be submitted to the procurator-fiscal.

Were they arrested because the did not have the correct ID?
LOL
I propose they don’t protest like that, they should hack the data systems and embarrass the government by selling the data on say ebay.
Play to your strengths, not to the governments strengths.
Find a good hacker and pay them say £500.
