Well, I admit, today’s title is “Title Party”, but this topic will indeed be discussed today.

I remember that in 2015, someone discussed this matter – of course not whether you should check the other party’s ID card first when making an appointment – but from the perspective of law and jurisprudence to discuss the “really Do you need the presentation of so much personal data?” What started this discussion happened in Taiwan. Taiwan’s resident ID card not only contains information such as gender, address, etc., but also on the back of the ID card, the names of both parents, spouse’s name, and service status are listed.

In 2015, when we were still discussing citizens’ privacy protection with judicial rationality, Taiwan’s ID card was just a “case” when I was preparing my thesis. Who would have thought that by 2022, the Chinese’s own private data has been leaked for several rounds, and the personal data exposed on the Internet are only the names of both parents, spouses, military service, etc.

At that time, the main issues discussed in Taiwanese society were from the perspective of “human relations”: for example, a single mother lived with her child, and the child also decided to change his mother’s surname, and like his mother, he wanted to sever his legal relationship with his father. As a result, the client actually wrote the man’s name in the parent column of his ID card; after the divorce, the spouse column will be blank. When some middle-aged women take out their ID cards, they will be blank because of that , while being glanced at, they need to explain why they don’t have a spouse, whether it is unmarried or divorced (unmarried is still a “shameful” thing around 2015); and some can be revealed through ID card personal data For example, when a young man applied for a job, he took out his ID card and wrote “Exemption” in the column of “Exemption from Service”. I can only answer truthfully – because I have suffered from depression.

Some people think that they “should” inform themselves that they have suffered from depression during the job search process, whether they are married or divorced. Should such private identity information be put back into the public domain for discussion? Obviously it is not suitable. Whether the person is married or not is essentially unrelated to his personal ability – of course, many companies still use “marriage” and “childbirth” as a reference standard when recruiting, and even ask the person concerned. Sign a letter of commitment to voluntarily not become pregnant within three years of employment, otherwise the company will be compensated for “losses”.

Oh yes, it needs to be emphasized that the topics we are discussing now are all placed in an “ideal state”, that is, people can only make privacy speculations through the personal data on their ID cards. In practice, things like “opening the box” abound. Even if our ID card only has name, gender, ethnicity, home address and ID number, the data stored on the Internet is actually enough to “open the box” for us. The body is incomplete, so from a practical point of view, it does not make any sense for us to discuss the concept of “privacy”.

Having said that, in 2015, the topic of personal data on Taiwan resident ID cards was obviously “outdated”. The most interesting part of this topic has shifted from privacy to another level of discussion – the cost of crime .

If the other party commits a crime, such as issuing loan sharks, extorting money, etc., the ID card information of the party concerned is enough to become a “threat chip” in the hands of the other party, such as following the old address to retaliate against the family members of the parties, or finding the parents of the parties to extort loan sharks, etc. .

Conversely, if the person concerned is the criminal, the cost of crime will also increase accordingly, because the content disclosed by the ID card information is enough to be socially obliterated, and even cyber violence against the person concerned’s parents, spouses, etc. witch hunt).

There is also a “crime” that does not involve punishment, but for many people it can reach the point where the crime cannot be forgiven—moral crime. For example, a party who clearly has a spouse deceives the other party to be single or divorced, and forms a de facto marriage with the party. If the other party can have a “proof channel” at this time, such as checking whether the spouse column of the other party’s ID card has someone else’s name, the truth will be revealed – and there will be no need for any investigation costs at all.

The ID card of Taiwan residents is like the “monitoring equipment” that must be discussed everywhere in modern detective novels, so that some hidden information is objectively presented on the table, so that there is less interest in reasoning. Betrayal, mistress and cheating can actually be confirmed through the spouse column on the ID card. This provides an opportunity for those who have been minored to redeem themselves and avoid wasting too much time on a married man or a married woman.

It’s a pity that this is still the “ideal state”. If you do a survey, the parties know that the other party has a marriage relationship, or after learning that the other party has a marriage relationship, they are willing to continue to maintain an incestuous relationship with the other party. In fact, a “realistic” answer can also be drawn-because they want to “gamble”. The married person keeps promising to cheat on him. He is the true love for him. He will definitely get divorced and then the matchmaker is getting married. Then this commitment was delayed again and again, and the two people were also getting deeper and deeper into this indecent relationship.

So, someone asked a question at this time: Why can’t you check the other party’s ID card before dating or dating? After all, you can see the true legal identity of the other party directly from the spouse column, avoiding more troublesome things in the future.

The question has to be thrown back: Is a romantic relationship a legal relationship? Obviously not, it’s just a moral identity relationship between two people. Once two people determine a relationship, there will be some verbal contractual relationship, such as announcing their relationship to the public, or handing over their mobile phone to the other party. Look, etc., these contracts have no actual legal force and only exist between two people. Besides, is the relationship between gun friends a legal relationship? Obviously not, although this relationship is a moral crime that should be “death penalty” for some moral cleanliness people. In the same way, both sides of the gun appointment will also have some verbal promises, such as not interfering with each other’s lives after a gun, or whether to wear a condom, etc.

If the romantic partner is unwilling to provide his ID card, then at least you need to be careful and know that he must be hiding something; if the romantic partner is unwilling to provide his ID card – wait, are you a police officer and want to arrest a prostitute?

The former, if the other party is always making excuses to say that he does not have an ID card, as a love interest, you should have guessed something; the latter, if the other party provides an ID card, the spouse column will be written with a stranger’s name. , As the object of the gun, will you really be able to justly reject immorality and embrace morality at the moment when your lust is on top?

Let’s pull it down, it’s said that these are all in the “ideal state”!
