All fingerprints collected for ID cards will be cross-checked against prints from 900,000 unsolved crimes.

To quote a Tory spokesman: "With the vast number of crimes involved, it is guaranteed there are going to be miscarriages of justice if the government goes down this route."

I am still deeply disturbed by how often I agree with things tories say at the moment.

SO where are they going to put these 900,000 serious offenders when they catch them ?

And just what have the police force been doing all these years?

And what makes them think that the 900,000 serious offenders are going to be applying for passports?

I don't trust them enough to do that!
