Old bill in doing their job shocker

So, what was the argument in favour of giving out personal details?

I think the argument in favour of giving out your personal details to any curious state official - rose no higher than the quasi-moral *"you are meant to trust the police"*.

I am so much happier knowing that we don't want to make it 'the done thing' or make it compulsory to give out those details (unless one is under arrest) and that, for the moment, it remains a personal choice. Hopefully it remains that way and no one is made to feel somehow 'wrong' for whatever they choose. A bit earnest maybe, but it's important.

Agreed.

I am not certain it will remain within our rights forever though.
