An ID-reading system used by many bars records the name and address of everyone that enters. This should be illegal.

Making the system even nastier, a bar can blacklist anyone, who will then be denied entry to all of these bars, perhaps for decades. But that would never affect me — because the mere fact that the bar wants to run my ID through a system that will record who I am will convince me to refuse.

We should organize to regulate all such systems, both how they blacklist people and how they record information about customers who are not accused of anything. But until that happens, we must stand up for our rights.
