We don’t want them because we don’t want to be asked to prove who we are when walking down the street which is what will happen.

You see it everyday here. Cops asking for people to identify themselves when there is no legal obligation to. They then make up some excuse to search for driving licences or bank cards.
Totally unnecessary. If you have done nothing wrong then there is no need to present ID. You can bet on introduction the law would change to “present your card or else”!
Then there is the cost. In 2010 it was going to cost billions. It will be even more billions now. That’s money we need in other parts of the economy. Not some glorified government IT project when they can’t even get Excel workbooks right!
