I found that you can't claim a refund without registering with your
full name and address. In other words, if you've been caught in such
a situation, you have to choose between being ripped off for £8 and
having your movements tracked thereafter. Not good news if you prefer
not to register for the sake of privacy.

No, not "thereafter" since you can immediately turn in your card,
collect the deposit and get a new unregistered one.

Only your prior movements will thereafter be associated with you on Big
Brother Ken's database.

don't you think they might know who & were u are anyway, the bombers
may not have had oyster cards ?



If I am arrested with an unregistered Oyster on me, no doubt it is
possible to find out where that Oyster has been as part of an
investigation into charges against me.

That is not the same as passively recording my movements when I am not
suspected of any crime (other than a pattern of movement that may at
any time be deemed by the powers that be to be deviant).
