You can take the idiot out of Russia, but you can't take the Russia out of the idiot, it seems.

We don't believe in authoritarian systems here old chum.

Try telling that to the firstborn sons of Egypt.

“ In language that some may find draconian, the health secretary said that the guidelines are "not a request" but rather an "instruction".

And the government has constantly reiterated that it rules nothing out should the scientific advice suggest that restrictions should go further.

However, indications from Downing St suggest that measures such as those seen in France, where people have to produce forms, aren’t under active discussion.”

No, one of them is real life - unusual, but not completely unprecedented.

The other is made up imaginary technology that only exists in your head.

Jesus, and this is supposed to be IT forum - imaginary technology like having some cards disable on certain days, yesh, that’s totally futuristic

The science fiction bit is global pandemic with near total lockdown, now that's science fiction.

What I talked about is totally easily doable in comparison.

Who does the analysis, to confirm a fine is due, and issues the fine?

Jeez, you sound like so many clients I've had in the past. Stop asking questions and just implement the half-baked solution I've got in my head!

Your bank does eventually get all that information but for many transactions they simply don't bother asking the bank if they approve your purchase of a 50p roll of polo mints and approve it automatically.

eventually being T+3 i.e. 4 working days.

We don't need to stop the transaction we just need to register it and then send a fine a reasonable time after like a speeding ticket.

So I break curfew, spend 50p on Polos and get a curfew ticket within 14 days. Sorted.

So my bank doesn't get a feed of the transactions to add them to my bank statement? The credit card company can link the transaction back to the POS terminal?

Strange because when I ask them they seem to know those things.

It doesn't have to be real time. A few prosecutions pour encourager les autres.
