I was with you to that point - I uninstalled the app several months ago when I came to the conclusion that the risk of being made to isolate due to a false positive connection far outweighed the benefit of mitigating my risk from the disease or of sharing it.

I do record my details correctly where asked to track and trace, but because I believe that contact tracing needs to be based on real risk rather than arbitrary technological assessments in all but the worst of circumstances.
So all you’ve done by doing that is changed potential recommendations to self-isolate (from the app) into legally binding instructions to self-isolate (from test & trace), with four-figure fines for not doing so.

I've also side stepped the whole grey area of "what about" if I receive a ping. My view of the legitimacy of track and trace will differ from that of others here.

A very recent experience…. My trainee had the app. It pinged. He self isolated. I don’t have the app. I didn’t self isolate and continued driving trains and got given an alternative candidate to teach. His app could’ve produced the ping whilst I was with him. He is vaccinated. I am not. Any logic? Of course not.
