I promise I'm not trying to push your buttons, but we don't have a constitutional right to own a car either. Or a toaster. So the fact that it's not of our constitutional right is of little relevance imo

Write to your MP about it though. I did.

I'm not sure where you got this from - The current term is already at 5 yrs. I recently renewed my license and authorization to transport.... the only cost to me was getting my pretty picture taken again

At the end of the day I can understand where supporters of the registry are coming from (not implying you are one of them either), it just boggles my mind how much money they've dumped into such a shitty mickey mouse system. It's nothing more then a tangled web of bureaucratic shit to give the illusion of control and safety, completely at the expense of people like my convenience.
