Comment on ID Scanners Can Change How Your Local Bar Treats You—and Whether It Lets You In.

Idk about that level of escalation being necessary, maybe just repeat offenses. Where I went to college it’s got to be super serious for police to come into a bar.
Repeat fights, or pukes on the floor, or belligerence to staff are all things I would think would be decent grounds to be turned away by ID. I mean, that happens now at gas stations and restaurants with security cam photos saying “don’t serve this person” posted at the register except it’s more public.
I suppose it depends what data is recorded though, they don’t need your home address.

You can already handle people being repeated nuisances at a specific location without issue.
Sharing any information at all absolutely should require a police report (and I’m aware that they already violate privacy other ways; that’s also not OK).
