Re: drivers license and ID scanners at clubs

Tampa is testing grounds for experimental big brother technology. It was one of the first cities to tryout face recognition in the States. I'm not at all surprised by this, I've had my ID swiped plenty of times at the liqour store. Even had a friend locked in ABC for using a fake after they swiped it.

I'd be real curious to see if that arrest holds up in 7-11. I used to be a cop and that employee has no right to detainee you, unless he committed a crime in the store, aka citizens arrest.

I think the clubs should be able to swipe IDs. They have a right to cover their ass against law suits, just like you have a right to go to another club if you don't like it. That said, only limited infomation should be able to be obtained from a strip ideally, primiarly just your name and date of birth.

Exactly. And if anyone has ever looked at the swiper mechanism, that's all that shows up. Not saying that the makers of these devices haven't set them up to obtain more without your knowing, but I find that highly unlikely.

did you go to the web site i linked? they can get everything..what a great marketing tool for the club to sell this info to magazines, etc. we are a demographic and thats worth money. those machines are promoted to record the info..the small of it is that it makes it easy to check validity of the ID.

so the situation is..heres my ID and i trust you with my social security number, digital pic, and digital signature because youre a night club and night clubs are our societies epicenter of morality.

How in the hell would the 7/11 situation hold up in court?

Are all 7/11's linked to a central police database?

How come this hasn't been on the news?
