Not exactly the same is it? I would be totally against a national database of every citizen
Surely having a national database of fingerprints, DNA, etc kept securely under rigorous controls would prove beneficial in helping the police on a number of matters, e.g. theft, murder, rape, etc. The key would be to ensure that it is controlled properly. Remember that anybody convicted of a criminal offence has their fingerprints kept on file long after their sentence is over and nobody cries civil liberties about that. Surely this would be the same.
If you obtain peronal information for a particular purpose, you may not use the data for any other purpose, and you may not divulge the personal data to a third party, except in ways that are "compatible" with the specified purpose. A key test of compatibility is whether you use and disclose the data in a way in which those who supplied the information would expect it to be used and disclosed.

Tough. Its on the internet, its public domain, anyone can read it. Employers are already looking up potential recruits before they hire them. Don't like it? Well don't post personal information on the internet then.
Last week in the UK two men were jailed for life. One brutally murdered five women, the other murdered a woman and then had sex with her dead body. Both were caught because they had had DNA samples taken after committing far less serious offenses (fighting/trespassing) I have absolutely no issue with giving a DNA sample to anyone or having to carry an ID card. What about the cvil liberties of those of us who don't commit terrible crimes, or to get back to the topic in hand those of us who pay our taxes and subsidise tax cheats? I'd have no issue with anyone from Revenue looking at my Facebook or Bebo pages because I've nothing to hide. They'll see pictures of me on holidays, all paid for out of my net pay. They'll see me out socialising spending money from my net pay. If you've nothing to hide, don't be worried.
Or all those mobile numbers in car sales ads in free papers similar. Any numbers which come up frequently are either trading or having very bad luck with their cars. If the information is freely available to anyone, then one must assume that some government authority is looking at it as well as potential customers.In reality this is no different to in previous generations when the local tax inspector would take down details from small adds posted on those notice boards they had in supermarkets.
