Dean of the Faculty of Law at The University of West Indies, Mona, Dr Shazeeda Ali, has suggested that the proposed National Identification System (NIDS) could cause interference with some privacy rights of Jamaicans. Ali argued that the Jamaican Constitution protects the individual’s right to privacy of ones person, property, private family life, home, and communication. Ali said that such interference might occur through, for example, the collection of fingerprints and informational privacy concerns stemming from the storage and processing of electronic data.
