Public Discussion: "David Davis and the Surveillance State"

Monday 7th July,Tonbridge & Tunbridge Wells NO2ID

Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells NO2ID will host a public discussion on growing concerns about the Database State as highlighted by David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, in his resignation statement. A statement from David Davis to the meeting will be delivered by Iain Dale, top Tory blogger. The discussion will take place in The Angel Centre on Monday, 7th July and is open to all. NO2ID is single-issue, is non-partisan (not party-political), and welcomes all comers irrespective of party-political position or stance on civil liberties and privacy issues. The discussion is intended to be broader than the NO2ID remit of "Database State" and is open to all with discussions on broader Surveillance State concerns.

In his resignation announcement, Mr Davis cited plans for the 'most intrusive identity card system in the world' and a 'database state opening up our private lives to the prying eyes of official snoopers and exposing our personal data to careless civil servants and criminal hackers'.

 Those who would like to share their views on the government's plans for the Surveillance State, and the shifting boundary between state and individual, are most welcome to join in the discussion at the Angel Centre, Angel Lane, Tonbridge, TN9 1SF, 7.30- pm on Monday, 7th July.

An evening meeting in a pub on Fleet Street, the first of a regular series of events.  

This is a meeting for lawyers, practicing and academic, who are interested in the law of identity and the database state. (It is not for the general public, and no one will be giving legal advice.) We hope to enlarge our group of lawyers interested in finding out more, and who might be interested in taking on related work.  If you want to:

• know more about the current law regarding biometrics, ID and the database state
• help to advise an ever-growing campaign 
• contribute to briefings to parliament and other influential bodies 
• register an interest in your firm or chambers in the development of "identity law" and data-sharing.

Contact Liz Norman  legal@no2id.net for more details.  There is a legal mailing list you can join and contribute to even if you can't attend in person.
