| Quote: | Ten of thousands of handheld devices capable of taking fingerprint readings could soon be distributed to British policemen.
The Mobile Identification At Scene (Midas) project, which has so far costed at £30m-£40m, could soon see the average bobby able to take a fingerprint reading on the street to be able to identify someone straight away.
The move, however, is already causing concern, coming so soon after the announcements of increasingly invasive plans by the government to keep data on British citizens. |
What is your view on this? Another invasion of privacy? Or a useful tool in the fight against crime?

Its the wrong time of the year to be introducing this idea - far too many people will be wearing gloves in the cold weather....

I believe gloves are usually removable.
