are nightclubs going over the top ? (with security)

[the milky bar kid]

I've booked to see a gig at HQ (Art vs Science) in July.

Footy Smart - are any of these copying licences and fingerprinting shennanigans going on there?

No fingerprinting at HQ, well i havent been there for a month! IDs though, dont know about gigs though

That's good. Spose in reality nothing bad would come of it, but geez it'd give me she shiiiiits having to give up my fingerprints to get in somewhere.

Been to HQ for gigs & they only check your id. That don't give you the standard metal detector treatment or any other checks.

I'd just turn around and walk straight back out. What gives those duds the right to scan your fingerprints??

Hey i dont mind having my ID scanned and or the metal detecter. It could be a deterant to some d*ckheads that cause trouble and/or can be used in evidance if an incident was to happen involving me.

A fair few places do it, London Tav, Red Sq and a few others

I do that at any place that even asks for my ID. **** you I'll take my business elsewhere and I'll buy a slab if everywhere starts that shit. Wankers. They are only flogging booze FFS.

I have no issue with the scanning of your ID as it is used to help identify people on camera if they do something stupid. Don't understand the reasoning behind fingerprinting though

[Psyber]

I wouldnt be giving my fingerprints to a nightclub just to get in..

After discovering that they participate in this practice it is my last visit as well

If a night club asked me....I would not even go there.

It certainly is successful at keeping the riffraff out of clubs then

Everywhere I go assumes you are a gentleman and none of this stuff is necessary.
And I don't go anywhere where this isn't a valid assumption...

Funny, most of these nightclubs are owned by people with nefarious backgrounds. What might happen to the ID if they take umbrage with someone...
And, we all know that if you're connected, you'll get in anyway, so the dodgies will still get in anyway.
Glad the clubbing days are behind me.

As if you'd give your ID to one of these mobs? Nice little racket that. What about people that don't have a driver's licence are they now not allowed to enter these venues? I wouldn't go to a nightclub if you paid me but a long time ago I did go to Heaven for a Grinspoon gig and if they had have asked for/taken away my ID I would've kicked up a huge fuss. You've already paid for the bloody ticket.

On checking the Liquor Licensing Act and the Summary Offences Act I cannot find anywhere that it gives crowd controllers the authority to take ones fingerprints. Being involved in the security industry and until just recently lecturing in it, no training organisation that I am aware of teaches persons in the security industry how to fingerprint. Whilst not suggesting what the particular establishment is breaking the law there must be some doubts over what they are doing. Also if they are live scan prints where are they being stored and for how long. Do the crowd controllers follow procedures set out for SAPOL under the Summary Offences Act for taking fingerprints etc.

If anyone can enlighten me with a PM to which establishments are doing the fingerprint procedure I would appreciate it thanks

[Zelezny Chucks]

I doubt they would have to have it as a law. As the signs say Management have the right to refuse entry, if they refuse you because you won't do it then in the end it's the punters choice.

Gozu regardless of whether you get your ID scanned they are still required to be viewed if you don't have a licence most people have a Proof of Age card.

These days I would have to be paid to go a night club.....I've heard they are most unpleasant places, I only went to them in my younger days on the off chance for a root

[Dogwatcher]

Mick, until that last word, I really thought you were channelling Psyber....

[Dogwatcher]

What nightclubs have you been to LM?
Not the sort of plants I remember seeing...

[Psyber]

He is - that's the only reason I occasionally went to some similar places in my youth too.
Once I was in a position that made me a "good catch" and eliminated the supply problem I gave them up.

didn't we all ?


mal had a nickname, back then he was simply known as 'wombat'.....yep eats, roots & leaves

[mal]

What places are taking fingerprints ?
Is it by any chance Sams Disco or the Bay disco ?

[Pidge]

I didn't know The London did fingerprints before you entered.
I think The Fightlander (Highlander) and Red Square do, but i've never been there and never will go there.

Rundle Street is way better than Hindley.

They closed down Lennies and Downtown big fella, I don't think Berties is there anymore either
