[edit] Fingerprint scanning in nightclubs
I have no doubt that the authorities would like this scheme to be compulsory, but I do not find it is verifiable according to the current reference[1]. Apart from being specifically described as voluntary, this sentence appears to suggest it is optional:- Sgt Jackie Gold, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "the scheme had the added benefit that people who choose to sign up will not need to carry ID with them on a night out." Is there another source elaborating how compulsory it is? -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Given the above, and following sentence in The Times, I'm changing the article back to saying it is voluntary:
- People have to register only once, which takes about a minute, and although it is voluntary it may eventually become a condition of entry.[2]

- Before this scheme was implemented, I read in the local paper 'The Western Gazette', that it would 'becom' compulsory if proven a sucessful deterrent, although I cannot verify this. At the moment it seems the decision is being left to the Landlord's discrestion. I have heard first-hand accounts from people in Yeovil, that they have been denied access to a club/pub because they were unwilling to take part.
