I was so p*ssed, those Students Union owned bars are not only poorly run but those scanners are frikkin illegal.



They require you to scan your licence/ID before entry. But that data is shared over the entire network of scanners/bars. So the university is sharing its students data with every night club in the city? That seems like a good idea!!! Ever heard of FOIP?

Even better, those bars are owned by the student collective on government property, they are certainly not private in the traditional sense. They could demand to see University ID i suppose, to prove membership in the ownership collective, but they CANNOT under any circumstance share that data with other establishments as they currently do. I wish i had challenged it at the time....

OP/FI Commissioner. I can't remember if I was on council when it was purchased and instituted or just when it was discussed. Either way, I was pretty useless at SLC. In hindsight I too wish I would have done more to ensure students didn't get hosed at their own bar...

Well, instead of looking at the person's race, you would scan the person's id, and see if they have been involved in any incidents at any other bars around town.

It would be based on a person's actions, instead of race.

Sounds like a good idea in theory. In practice, it doesn't do crap to stop a bouncer from telling an Asian dude that his shoes don't conform to dress code...
