The Sacramento city government is now REQUIRING that many establishments that serve booze now subscribe to something called PatronScan. This is a privately operated data base. The bar / restaurant owners are REQUIRED BY LAW to scan patron's ID into the machine. It is supposed to be able to spot phone ID. It also stores the data for one month. In the event there is a problem, the cops know who was there. If you are a dick and they have to 86 you, they can put you on a shit list for five years.
I am not saying it is a bad idea to do. I am saying it is a bad idea for the government to force you to do it. The market place should take care of this, not the G.
