This ought to kill off the clubbing industry in town

ITV Wales
Several Cardiff nightspots have installed fingerprint-scanning systems in a bid to identify troublemakers and curb alcohol-fuelled violence. Partygoers will have to scan their fingerprints and driving licence or passport, plus have their photograph taken, before being allowed entry. At least three venues already have the technology in place and South Wales Police hope it will become more widespread in the city.

And that's a bad thing because....?

95 per cent of people go for a good time

But if it cleans up our city centre from all the idiots and troublemakers, that can only be a good thing, surely.

Mind you, I wouldn't be happy about having my driving licence scanned by some east European door staff. Fingerprinting I wouldn't mind too much

It's the whole guilty of something until proven innocent that bothers me

f*cking pathetic . more nanny state shit. UK is a joke of a country to live in.

Town has become rough, can only be a good thing I guess

its takes long enough to get in a club as it is, be like going to an airport soon, must be there 2hours before
Cardiff is fine, try going out in newport every weekend its a dump for nights out, but trouble is limited. Just get on with it

I reckon so. Far too many cunts out and about. Since a cull of chavs and layabouts is ethically wrong this can only be a good thing

Dont have to ask if you packed it yourself anymore

Thats good then, cos I always get embarassed when I say mym mummy did it

As long as they don't start doing compulsory drug test on the doors, then they may struggle for punters.

Also to those who mention ID theft - how would you steal someones ID from fingerprint or facial recognition?!

Name, address, dob and pic from drivers licence?

Oh, I thought the Tory's devestated another industry by yet more cuts then, few that was a close call!
