A farmer and fundamentalist Christian who's convinced that digital driver's licence photos are the work of the devil is taking the Ontario government to court to avoid having his picture taken.

"This technology will allow central control over people's behaviour, which the Bible warns us against," said Bothwell, clad in a tweed jacket with the cuffs of his jeans tucked inside black cowboy boots.

He believes that anyone who allows their image to be archived by an outside agency bears "the mark of the beast" and will "drink the wine of the wrath of God" as a result.
