Interpol Wants a Global Identity Card System
Orome1 writes "The head of INTERPOL has emphasized the need for a globally verifiable electronic identity card (e-ID) system for migrant workers at an international forum on citizen ID projects, e-passports, and border control management. INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said: "At a time when global migration is reaching record levels, there is a need for governments to put in place systems at the national level that would permit the identity of migrants and their documents to be verified internationally via INTERPOL." Issuing migrant workers e-ID cards in a globally verifiable format will also reduce corruption and enable cardholders to be eligible for electronic remittance schemes that will foster greater economic development and prosperity in INTERPOL member countries."

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
This sounds like a bad case of mission creep to me. INTERPOL doesn't need global ID capabilities for its job. So why should we put them in charge?
Sure, theft and murder are bad, but a mass global ID means that anonymous existence will become impossible. Just think what access to such a system will mean to governments that run by dictators. Even the oh so sweet and trustworthy "democracies" will abuse this. Sometimes, it is important for the good of mankind to disappear into a crowd.
Nihilo Ordo Seclorum
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,

On behalf of humanity; "fuck off"!
I want a Porche and Interpol to go fuck themselves. Unfortunately, Interpol will probably get their way first.
"I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are."
Actually those comments will be in 663 minutes.
everyone should be forced to surrender one kidney. The government will keep it preserved to permit detailed DNA identification, and will of course swap it for your other kidney if it turns out you need it at any point in your life. It's not just a cure for terrorism, it's a vital safety net for people who are feckless with their kidneys.
Nullius in verba
But all of the pastor's I've listened to told me the Beast was going to come from the USA!
This reads like Interpol want more funding. Global ID cards will not effect illegal immigrants - they'll still be brought over to wherever in container ships etc.
If anything it will create a market for illegal ID cards in countries with less scruples - INCREASING the level of corruption.
What's wrong with the passport system we have already?
It's called a "passport."
Facebook is good too.
But we're a few hundred years away from the star trek world where we don't need anonymity.

...it's the database behind the card. Being able to prove who you are is actually a very comfortable luxury. But what data will be held apart from your name and date of birth? And who will control that rules are obeyed and data gets deleted on time?
10 ?"Hello World" life was simple then
'Cause nobody will have the motivation or resources to crack them and make fakes.
So like a FaceBook/Twitter account then?
And citizens want their privacy.... It's nice to want things, huh?
Isn't this what the current passport system already provides? Passports already have unique numbers, and there are existing standards about reading the mag printed strip and RFID tags in there now.

Using your sig line to advertise for friends is lame.
INTERPOL can go fuck themselves.
It's not good for me. It's not good for anyone I know. It's certainly not good for the refugees and other migrants this claims to help, who are often already fucked because they don't have a nation to call home and issue them a passport. This is a great idea for bureaucrats who want their jobs to be easier at the expense of everyone else's rights, and a terrible idea for pretty much everyone else on earth.
On the one hand they want a universal ID
On the other hand they want to tell other governments to fuck off.
Oh well, back to trying to pound down the states' rights to do things republicans don't like with REAL ID.
On behalf of all the forgers, ID-theives and other people who have to hold a damn lot of different forms of ID creation and their various security schemes at hand to satisfy all their customers:
PLEASE! MORE POWER TO YOU!
And while you're at it, at least condense it all into one big database, too. Hacking hundreds of national ones is really cutting into profits.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
enough to see only the legitimacy of such things. Sure, in the right hands this could be used to verify that people from overseas are who they say they are and have the qualifications they should have etc. but in the wrong hands...
- could be used to hijack or at least blackmail, and hence eventually hijack all records so that THEY decide who is legitimate.
- could lead to an alarming increase in "misplaced" laptops as more personal information is sold and traded
- believe it or not, there are people in this world that don't really want you moving anywhere. It suits them to demonise migration, and have open borders so they can bring this stuff in. A place for everyone and everyone in their place. You won't be able to go anywhere as you'll be fried by body scanners and if you do go somewhere, it will be if they allow you too - via these id's.
Families could be broken apart with this, like a Berlin wall.
- Who runs interpol? I don't know, can't know, and won't know..in any way that I'd care to ...
- It's indoctrination. You have to fill out a entrance form when you fly in, and an exit form going out, customs declaration form, passport, body scanner, and now this. It will teach you not to travel, and of you do travel, to remind you the perils of doing so, not unlike getting onto one of the sailing ships of old only to be gobbled up by a big giant squid.
- it could be all pervasive in your life, like a key you can't afford to lose, or afford to keep.
- and you could slowly be deftly conditioned to accept it, with the threat of "terrorism" looming in the background.
- Please help us lord. Please. Help us all, all of us.
...cards are too easy to loose.
Track me, hack me,
no database can lack me...
as long as you protect me, it's all right...
Since the founding of interpol, the corruption in the eu, especially in the uk and germany, has grown to levels unbelievable - and they want to put in the argument that this would lower corruption?
That's already corrupt in itself.
All interpol is really used currently is to suppress political opposition through international means.
I wonder why? It's not like the United States does.
It seems that you only need to track migration to make sure no one sneaks into a country, so one has to wonder why do we need countries? We don't need Nato, we don't need the UN. And we don't need any damn universal ID card. What we need is a world with a single government that works for the benefit of all the world's inhabitants. Countries seemed so important when we needed to protect the resources I own from others. But no a days no single country owns enough to be self-sufficient. We all need what others have, and to do so we need to cooperate.
And what of tomorrow?
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but... there is an attempt to do the opposite. Reference: http://www.metagovernment.org/
Yes, it is going to be difficult and perhaps a long-shot. But do you have a better idea? One that you personally can work on today?
Metagovernment needs programmers and other nerds to help get it off the ground. If you help, it just might work.
P.S. Metagovernment is an open community. If you have a problem with how it is being implemented, you can change it!
what have i told you? next come RFID implants and we are all fucked!
I'd be up for having an international form of identification (card) if it meant I can work wherever I want.
how about something more permanent like a tattoo?
...what?
This is news? Really?!
I want a pony...
Is interpol going to PAY for this?
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Why I am always even more sceptical of any claims that "greater access to information and control is needed" (to paraphrase) when they then state it should be themselves doing it?
I keep finding myself wondering "needed by whom?", and why wasn't a relatively independent observer saying the same thing?
Wait, "enable cardholders to be eligible for electronic remittance schemes"... Soooo, Interpol wants unhindered access to all your international bank transfers? Oh I see.
Anyway, I imagine most of the participating governments would fail to implement the large IT system required, nevermind Interpol connect them all in a usable way.
What value does this ID provide? Since I am not a criminal, why would INTERPOL need to identify me individually anyway? If I was a criminal, I doubt I would provide an ID that identified me to INTERPOL as a criminal.
I vote for Epsilon to handle this one.
That was the turning point of my life--I went from negative zero to positive zero.
The only criminal activity I see running rampant is in the major banks and governments in the "Western Democracies". Perhaps INTERPOL can start by ID-ing politicians and bankers and track their flow of money and transactions first. Think of it as a high value pilot project.
Hope is the currency of fools
I'd like a pony. And world peace. And...
Who knew Sony ran Interpol, or maybe they are just avid gamers and had nothing to do yesterday.
Hey, this was Hitler's idea! Except that it was not electronic but he proposed mandatory paper ID cards for everyone, including everyone in occupied countries.
If they want this to take off, they would approach facebook and gmail and offer them some sort of deal for making this happen using their social network as a base to catapult this thing forward.....
If you do nothing wrong you won't have a police record. It's been working out fine
Not for me. I don't trust government like you do. My eyes are wide open to the fact that corruption is the norm in the business of government, rather than the exception. I realize that the people who run the business of government work for themselves, not me, and I consider it naive to assume that government has the interests of "the people" in mind, rather than themsleves.
On the contrary, the correct response to "if you are innocent than you have no reason to hide" is precisely "if I am innocent than you have no justification for tracking me". Above all, tracking of innocents undermines the principle of innocent before proven guilty. If I am innocent, then in a free country I should NEVER have to prove it.
So what. I do research with disease transmission among stigmatized populations and I've been saying for years that my job would be a hell of a lot easier if we just put a barcode tattoo on everyone at birth. I can even justify it by describing the advances in public health we'd be sure to get out of it. Does that make doing so ethical or desirable? Hell no, not even close. The problem with people like these is that they get caught up enough in the specific needs of their little world, and the specific (often highly desirable) benefits that would accrue if something like this went ahead, and completely lose the larger perspective about what the broader and highly negative implications of such schemes might be.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Even the United States, with its big-government push toward national IDs, has failed completely in that effort. The States won't comply, nor do they have any reason to. Interpol will never get anything like it in my lifetime. And for good reasons.
Electronic IDs are an illusion of security at the cost of real security. People put faith in them but they are hackable. The end result is that they go unquestioned, so those with hacked IDs can get away with murder, so to speak.
Every time somebody has said they have come out with an "un-hackable" ID system, somebody else has hacked it within a very short period of time. I do not see that changing any time soon.
Death penalty for cops who abuse their position. Then we'll have a talk about global IDs.
If you do nothing wrong you won't have a police record.
It is erroneous to equate law with morality or right/wrong. Something being law does not make it ethically right or wrong. It just means there was enough support/clout/influence/lobbying/greased palms to push it through.
Reply to That ||
... that cater to my every whim. You can't always get what you want.
Instead of a card, they can just print it on peoples' foreheads. Or perhaps give them the option of using the back of their right hand.
What could go wrong?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article4901449.ece Why should a Church have access to INTERPOL data? Funny separation of Church and State ? And also why does a Church need armed guards? Why don't other religions need private police forces.
And should the Catholic Church have any access to INTERPOL considering the abuse potential?
we want a tracking device in the ID card!
we want the ID implanted in an RFID at birth!
we want the implant to also function as a kill switch!
It's called a passport.
You want something more than that? Fuck you.
If you aren't suspicious of your government's actions, you aren't doing your job as a responsible citizen.
Today you need it to work in a foreign country. Tomorrow you need it just to visit. How long until you need it just to get by within your own country. Ronald . Noble makes it sound so nice though. He found a perfect niche to get his pet card into existence so he can increase it's scope a bit at a time later.

Fuck you, Interpol.
In the USA, well over 50 different authorities issue license plates. But there's nothing but money and a mechanism of trust preventing all of them from sharing access to each others' databases. For all I know this may already be in place.
Nothing says that countries that wish to could share passport-database information. Present your passport at a border that has access to its country's back-end server, and *poof* it should be able to verify any passport issued by any participating country in a matter of minutes if not seconds. No need for new cards, no need for e-cards, no need for biometrics beyond your face matching the picture on the card.
How would this work?
Send the passport number, issuing country, and some other info found on the passport back to your country's back-end system. It queries the originating country's database and gets back some additional info already on the passport, including a recognizable but not necessarily detailed version of the face and sends it back to the customs agent. The customs agent compares what he gets back to the document in his hand, which he's already compared to the person standing in front of him. If they clearly match, the passport is confirmed. If they clearly mismatch someone is going to be arrested. If it's not clear he sends a 2nd query and either sends a scan of the passport back for a back-end review or the back-end sends him a high-resolution photograph of what the passport should look like including a detailed face photo.
This whole system does have the same flaws shared by the current system and any possible replacement: It's subject to defeat by corrupt or lazy employees or officials or by implementing technology that is not secure or which is not kept secure.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
In Soviet world, papers police you!
When I hear of Interpol, I think of Reinhard Heydrich and Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and how the organization they ran avoided hunting Nazi war criminals for years because those were "political" crimes.
What more do you need to say ?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
Reallyy heheheh No wait really????
Yeah I can see that flying over really well here (USA incase yer wondering)
Hilarious
thats gonna go by really well with the 2nd amendment club
But go ahead and get your INTERPOL card. we'll still want your passport,
Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.
Well Interpol can go and fuck themselves, can't they.
Interpol are a laughing stock anyway.
I have an e-ID for InterPol - my big fat cock shoved directly into those institutional assholes.
Let them read that - stupid fucktards.
You realize you're quoting the world's first murderer, right? And the quote you're using was his lie to God that he didn't know what had happened to his dead brother.
And you're using that quote to bolster your argument that you have no duties or obligations to anyone but yourself? Apparently that sentiment even extends to "relatives and good friends" such as your wife.
From your previous post about so much as sharing your television with your wife:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2052954&cid=35607736
I meant is she doesn't like it...tell her to go into the other fucking room and watch what she wants if she doesn't like what I'm watching.
My house....my rules. If she doesn't like it...there's others out there...always...
Is it any wonder that we don't think you have the best perspective on how we as a society should cooperate to accomplish common goals?
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
In France we have a national identity card, we are supposed to carry it at all times. It's just a piece of plastic with a photo, a name and an address. Each card is valid for 10 years. I noticed a novelty when I renewed mine recently, in the paperwork they asked for a mobile phone number. Mobile, not land line.
Enjoy your new government database and smart tracking device citizen.
How droll.
I don't know, I've always wanted to be a Global Identity.

There is no such need for us. They need it just for their global governance plans. They seek total control and power.
in the 1800s there was a major disaster in the southern US.
I think they usually refer to it as the Civil War, though some of my neighbors still call it the War Against Northern Aggression.
He refused on the basis that it wasn't the governments job and private parties should rise to the occasion.
They did. We called them carpet baggers. Most of us would have preferred another visit from Sherman than to endure that horde of locusts.
The point is that that wouldn't have happened if the government had stepped in.
I heartily agree. I remember the Dust Bowl and Katrina. Good times were had by all. Whoever said it was government's job to promote the general welfare? Let's disband the National Guard, Search and Rescue, the Coast Guard and all those socialist fire departments. Surely private citizens will voluntarily acquire the heavy equipment and years of specialized training necessary to handle all major disasters. Why, just a few years ago, I remember seeing a documentary about how some geek built himself a personal suit of armor and single-handedly put an end to the war in Afghanistan. :-)
When you're ready to quit reading Ayn Rand and other comic books, and you're ready to abandon the Sarah Palin School of Reasoning where you offer events you can't remember and the quotes of Presidents you can't name as proof that you're right, perhaps you could join us in the soft green fields of reality where it takes more than your favorite EDC pocketknife and a contempt for the sheeple to handle even a problem as small as a routine house fire.

Say what?
*Sigh* OK, once again for the slow learners.
Public health is simply the sum total of private health. You understand the principle with vaccinations, and that's a good start, but you need to consider this problem more deeply. A review of the events surrounding the Black Death wouldn't hurt either.
Why should you care if your someone in your town lives in rat-infested tenements? Because the Plague can travel across town. Why should you care if some poor illegal alien comes down with the flu? Because he's going to wipe down your lunch table tomorrow. Why should you care if some homeless bum breaks his leg? Because when he comes down ill from sleeping in the gutter, and you brush past him ignoring his request for spare change, you're going to inhale some of his saliva that aerosols out of his mouth when he speaks. Why should you care if some little old lady is suffering from heart disease down the street? Because she's offering pneumonia and tuberculosis a perfect foothold into your community health.
Like it or not, your health is inextricably tied into the health of everyone else. Unlike money and cookies, this isn't a situation where you can say "Screw you I got mine."
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
You sound young. I hope you're young, because then I would understand. I used to sound like that when I was 17 too. You're echoing the books you've read pretty well, but you're not understanding the reality behind them. This is not your fault because you've had no experience with them -- yet.
But you will.
Small number of communicable diseases? There are so many communicable diseases we don't even have proper names for them all, and even if we did, Nature is cranking out new ones every day. When I was a boy, no one had ever heard of AIDS, Mad Cow Disease, MRSA, Avian Flu, H1N1, Ebola, Marburg, Hanta, Legionnaires... -- and those are just the names I can pull off the top of my head.
Why should you care about some schmoe with diabetes? Because before he dies, opportunistic infections and diseases will use his body as a factory to crank out pathogens that will eventually enter your environment. One bad apple will eventually turn them all. One sick cow will eventually cost you the herd. It is in your own selfish best interest to ensure various bacteria and viruses do not have a foothold in your community.
But let's talk about something like ALS or Huntington's, which may be purely genetic and absolutely not communicable. Let's suppose those people are simply going to die in helpless agony. Do you think their families will simply sit by and wring their hands? We can either sit by and spend fortunes on security systems, cops and cleanup to handle the inevitable headline disasters ... or we can skip the drama by writing some prescriptions. It is literally a selfish ounce of prevention vs. a pound of cure from your tax dollars.
I offer all those arguments in case you're young and ignorant of life, in the hopes that you've never even had the fairly routine experience of watching them slice your wife open to pull out your child, that you have yet to put a parent in the ground.
It makes no difference to my health whether you suffer or die from cancer, obesity, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, or heart disease,
If you've got some gray in your hair, and your heart and spirit are still this stunted, small and shriveled, then you have my pity. You're going to go to your grave feeling even more miserable, alone and afraid than you do right now.
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
That statement is objectively false: my health does, for the most part, not depend on your health. My health does not depend on whether you have ALS or Huntingtons or cancer. If we only needed to address private health concerns that affect other people, we'd get by with very little money per American per year.
OK, you're completely missing the idea that individual compromised immune systems offer communicable diseases a foothold into the community. Some guy across town comes down with Hodgkins lymphoma. You're safe. Cancer isn't contagious. Cancer shreds his immune system, leaving him wide open for the tuberculosis problem we're seeing recur in the American South and inner cities. Tuberculosis is contagious and is your problem.
He dies hacking and spewing, but you feel happy because none of your tax dollars are going to treat him. Sadly, the Fedex man spoke to your neighbor's caregiver before he dropped your package off, so that nagging cough that just broke out in your chest and the blood you're coughing into your kleenex isn't going to go away any time soon.
Have you never seriously traveled? Go spend some time in Europe and Canada, then go spend some time in places where access to a doctor isn't a given, like Papua New Guinea, Alabama and Mississippi (Huntsville doesn't count.) Have you never noticed you seem to have fewer health problems when everyone around you is healthier?
When "personal" medical problems get treated, "public" medical problems find fewer opportunities to breed in your community. You're hanging out on Slashdot, for goodness' sake. You should have an intuitive understanding of the concept. One vulnerable host on a network does not mean only that user has a problem...
You apparently think that defending your political and social views entitles you to insult and attack other people in whatever underhanded way you can come up with. I don't know what made you so bitter and arrogant, but whatever it was, it has turned you into a reprehensible human being.
Oh dear. Did I hit a nerve? Did I hurt your feelings? Do you need some comfort, reassurance and consolation?
Well, fortunately that's your problem, not mine. :-)
OK. Maybe a little too much snark. I apologize. Look, here's my problem. At the outside, I got maybe 30 years left. I could drop dead right now and go into the light with nothing left undone. I have been there, I have done that, and I have got the t-shirt. I got mine. I got more than mine.
I also got kids. Them and the grandkids will have to live in this world after my wife and I are gone. What terrifies me is that half this country's population, a country I gave years to, half this country's population thinks Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh aren't loud-mouthed idiots. Sarah Palin shoots wolves out of helicopters and talks about how huntin' makes her a Real American. Funny, my grandpa threatened to tan my hide if I ever shot something I didn't intend to eat. I'm a hillbilly from a long line of hillbillies. I et 'coon, possum and deer as a child. I figure that makes me as real an American as Daniel Boone.
Half this country's population think they're right with God and following Christian tradition when ain't none of them ever sat on a bare wooden pew and cain't none of 'em remember the words to "the Old Wooden Cross." I've heard preachers -- Preachers, mind you -- who talk about the "Evils of Socialized Medicine" like not one of them ever read the tale of the Good Samaritan.
Sick people get doctors. Period. Whatever it takes, I don't care. I don't care if my taxes go up. I don't care if we have to pay the doctors in moonshine and chickens. I don't care if I get drafted to rip bedsheets into bandages. Civilized people do not leave the sick and the wounded to suffer, and I don't care if it's a drunk suffering from DTs. The whole outside world -- and I've been there mind you -- the whole outside world looks at us like we're savages for leaving the sick and injured to fend for themselves.
And they're right.
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
OK, we started with "Screw you I got mine" and "It doesn't matter to my health how sick you get," and now we're arguing efficiency, so I'm wonderfully happy. You've moved away from "Ayn says let 'em die in the streets," to "We're wasting money," so we're making progress. You've still got some nonsense going about what we spend money on for healthcare in this country, but we're getting there.
A centimeter at a time, but we're getting there. :-)
they put limits on how selfish pricks like you can waste medical resources on unneeded procedures, ineffective end-of-life care, and the latest gimmicky drugs.
You mean like prophylactic c-sections, hospice and morphine?
My wife had a natural delivery in one of those "limited" countries. She luxuriated in the hospital for almost a week. They didn't discharge her until she could walk on her own. She carried our baby out of the hospital. She had a full complement of pain meds just in case she needed them. She was assigned a lactation nurse who spent several hours making sure our child began feeding without issue. We had a pediatrician assigned to us. The city even gave us a routine stipend to cover initial babcare expenses like diapers and cribs just in case we couldn't afford it. Frankly, we got firehosed with assistance. When I asked why, they told me it was cheap insurance, cheaper to pay these minor expenses up front than to worry about larger issues later.
My wife had an emergency c-section stateside, as in she was bleeding out and both mother and child would have died. Looking at my call record, our insurance company was on the phone with me to argue the charges before my wife was even out of surgery. My wife was discharged less than 48 hours after being cut open like a fish. She was still actively bleeding when they kicked her out the door, without pain meds.
Every single issue was a fight. We had to fight to get her the needed pain meds. We had to fight to get her back in when the bleeding wouldn't stop. We had to fight to get our child in to the pediatrician. When my wife showed up bleeding at the ER, we had to fight through an off-duty cop to get in to get triaged by the nurse. We fought the insurance company over every single dime for months afterwards as they denied every single claim as a matter of standard procedure.
And I have what is considered to be "Gold standard" health insurance.
It took a literal act of Congress to allow pregnant women to stay the night at the hospital after delivery. Every other father I talk to has similar horror stories. The fact that you're not familiar with these issues tells me ... that you're not familiar with these issues.
Even Cuban-style health care would be sufficient for that,...
Even Cuban style of healthcare?! God Help Us, when did we fall so far that we look UP to anything, ANYTHING Cuba has to offer?
But, but, but, but SOCIALISM! Socialist Health Care? You mean exactly like the sort of health care system used by the United States House, Senate, Supreme Court and every branch of the Armed Forces, that kind of Communist health care? How come every other civilized nation on Earth seems to have these sorts of systems, but they haven't been smitten by the Capitalist Fist of an Angry God?
We rank 33rd, at the bottom of the list among civilized nations on infant mortality. We edge out Croatia by a tenth of a point, and it looks like they'll pass us in the next go around.
Croatia. We're about to get beat by a war-torn nation from the Eastern Bloc. We put as many babies in the ground as a shattered chunk of what we used to call Yugoslavia.
We put those babies in the ground because we can't come up with a coherent health plan, because we'd rather pay United Healthcare's CEO 1.1 Billion dollars -- that's Billion with a "B" -- than save the lives of infants. You know what grand accomplishment Bill McGuire can point to to justify that 1.1 Billion dollars? Well, so fa
