Potentially? What if a customer leaves and then comes back after a shift change?

- droithomme 7y agoI don't comprehend this duplicates thing. If your face and body doesn't match the photo and appearance description on the license, then the bouncer should reject you at that point. Using the machine suggests all they are doing is running the scan, pulling your data, and giving a green or red light to enter. So you can be a 16 yr old boy and come in with the id of his 89 yr old great-grandmother and the machine gives a green light because the id isn't fake. Unless the bouncer is looking at the photo. And now you don't need to scan and store for duplicates because the bouncer will catch that you're not the person on the id. Databases, hand stamping, and other methods are all much more complex and less effective and sensible than the bouncer simply checking the id.
- liability 7y agoExactly right. The "duplicate ID" narrative is a BS non-issue being used to pretty up this nonsense with a "think of the children" angle.
- smelendez 7y agoYou could conceivably have a situation where a 21-year-old exits the bar, slips his ID to his similar looking 19-year-old brother or cousin, and gets him into the bar. I'm sure this happens, but I doubt it's really a major problem.
