We the concerned people of jamaica strongly believe that the National Identification System_NIDS is unconstitutional. Both government and opposition have failed to protect the privacy of Jamaicans .Therefore we are urging the churches,human rights activists,civil society and the public defender to take NIDS to the supreme Court of Jamaica to test its constitutionality .
The following are breaches section 13 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.Which speaks about 'foundamental rights and freedom':
1 Mandatory National Id's for persons under 16 years old is unconstitutional .
2 Mandatory biometrics for all its citizens is unconstitional.
3 Section 41 (1) of NIDS infringes upon the right to free education up to the secondary level .It also infringes upon the right to free healthcare for all its citizens not just in case of emergency .
