Further to the post below, to the effect that Brunstrom wants any drivers who have been stopped for any offence to be put in a squad car and fingerprinted, it seems prints are then to be checked against the national database in case we happen to be wanted criminals, "since those who commit motoring offnces are also quite likely to be bank robbers paedophiles, murderers etc. "

Though Fuhrer Dick has said the trial will begin next summer, the Home Office says police have no powers at present to carry out this fingerprinting.

So if he goes ahead without a change in the law, will he be guilty of malfeasance in public office?

And of course, we could be fingerprinted for something as trivial as a blown sidelight bulb.

Blunkett should be receiving letters about this gentleman to remind him that most of the 29 million UK drivers have a vote.

Just out of interest how would Blunkett go about reading a sack full of mail, surely somebody doesn't read each one to him


I am told such people have e-mail managers who sort the wheat from the chaff.

"Would the Minister be pleased to receive this e-mail? No? Oh, better bin it then"
