Depends on jurisdiction really, in my case I remember very well the debate and attempt to abolish the number the state assigns you that you can never delete while alive...

That was in the eighties, since then things got so totalitarian that I basically fled, and also I won't tell even you guys here what country that is, for now at least!

That is the law that will be enforced, if you choose to ignore it and still stay alive & eat of course you can then regard all of it as illegal and devoid of substance...
