Here’s a story out of Ontario, Canada, about a fundamentalist Christian farmer who opposes his photo being stored digitally in a database. George Bothwell is trying to get a driver’s license, but does not want his biometric data to be stored in a central computing system. He believes that this is a method of behavioral control which the Bible warns against in Revelations. Canadian law allows for certain exemptions from these rules on religious grounds, but no application for exemption has ever been granted since they first allowed the option in 1986. The reason this particular man is being denied is because he does not belong to any offically recognized organized religion. The requirements stipulate that he must belong to a group which has a recognized religious leader, who is able to put down his beliefs in writing. Since the man worships on his own, he is not successfully able to complete these requirements.
