Pubs and club to fingerprint customers

[citroen999]

The government is funding the roll out of fingerprint security at the doors of pubs and clubs in major English cities.

Funding is being offered to councils that want to have their pubs keep a regional black list of known trouble makers. The fingerprint network installed in February by South Somerset District Council in Yeovil drinking holes is being used as the showcase.

"The Home Office have looked at our system and are looking at trials in other towns including Coventry, Hull & Sheffield," said Julia Bradburn, principal licensing manager at South Somerset District Council.

Gwent and Nottingham police have also shown an interest, while Taunton, a town neighbouring Yeovil, is discussing the installation of fingerprint systems in 10 pubs and clubs with the systems supplier CreativeCode.

Bradburn could not say if fingerprint security in Yeovil had displaced crime to neighbouring towns, but she noted that domestic violence had risen in Yeovil. She could not give more details until the publication of national crime statistics to coincide with the anniversary of lax pub licensing laws on 24 November.

She was, however, able to say that alcohol-related crime had reduced by 48 per cent Yeovil between February and September 2006.

The council had assumed it was its duty under the Crime and Disorder Act (1998) to reduce drunken disorder by fingerprinting drinkers in the town centre.

Some licensees were not happy to have their punters fingerprinted, but are all now apparently behind the idea. Not only does the council let them open later if they join the scheme, but the system costs them only £1.50 a day to run.

Oh, and they are also coerced into taking the fingerprint system. New licences stipulate that a landlord who doesn't install fingerprint security and fails to show a "considerable" reduction in alcohol-related violence, will be put on report by the police and have their licences revoked.

Offenders can be banned from one pub or all of them for a specified time - usually a period of months - by a committee of landlords and police called Pub Watch. Their offences are recorded against their names in the fingerprint system. Bradburn noted the system had a "psychological effect" on offenders.

She said there had been only been two "major" instances of alcohol-related crime reported in Yeovil pubs and clubs since February. One was a sexual assault in a club toilet.

The other occurred last Friday when an under-18 Disco at Dukes nightclub got out of hand after the youngsters had obtained some alcohol from elsewhere. A fight between two youngsters escalated into a brawl involving 435 12 to 16 year olds

A major incident is when 15 police attend the scene, said Bradburn. She was unable to say how many minor incidents there had been, but acknowledged that fights were still occurring in the streets of Yeovil.

The Home Office paid for Yeovil's system in full, with £6,000 of Safer, Stronger Communities funding.

Bradburn said the Home Office had paid her scheme a visit and subsequently decided to fund similar systems in Coventry, Hull and Sheffield.

The Home Office distanced itself from the plans. It said it provided funding to Safer, Stronger Communities through the Department for Communities and Local Government's Local Area Agreements. How they spent the money was a local decision, said a HO spokeswoman.

For fucks sake!! This fingerprinting aint gonna stop, schools, prisons, pubs, workplace, what next? church goers, petrol stations, and soon you will have to show your finger print to get out of the house to walk the street!! :mad:

Dont buy any shares in the pub sector cos its going to be fucked up

People who go to clubs should be fingerprinted, then shot repeatedly and then drawn and quartered for good measure. For the sake of the species.

What a fucking stupid moronic, myopic thing to say. Yes we've all seen the bill hicks routine about going to dance clubs to 'fill up the hate hump', but to say anyone who goes to a club should be shot is more than moronic. Yes a lot of clubs cater for the angry pissed up violent youth and many are little more than meat markets lol, but theres hundreds of good clubs out there that play ace music and have a very friendly and welcoming clientel. I've DJed all over the UK and yes some clubs dont have the best atmos, but to make stupid blanket statements like that is idiotic and closed minded in the extreme. How is going to a club to mix and interact with my peers deserving of cataloging and being shot? How is being social deserving of being shot?

Get out more mate

[quicksilver]

If Nu Labour had their way you would be taxed and fingerprinted for a bowel movement.

Calm down it was a joke. I hate clubs, what can I say, they play music too loudly to talk (usually bad music), people expect you to dance, you can't talk to anyone because its too loud, everyone gets drunk and stupid, you can't read because its either too dark or the lights are flashing around.
Gimmi a library anyday, when they fingerprint us in libraries I will be annoyed.:p

[ownedtbh]

i think this is for the better to be honest. an this is also the first thing they have done that i agree with. I welcome it with open arms

hahah no worries and apologies, ive had an argumentative evening, just caught me at the wrong time i think. Not to be presumptuous but i dont think youve been to the right clubs, decent clubs have an area aside from the music for chatting and socialising, i never thought id say it but thats one good thing thats come from the smoking ban, people do tend to bond and chat outside now, even non smokers come out to enjoy the atmosphere. One question though, whats wrong with getting a bit drunk and stupid sometimes? But if youre trying to read in a club, you really shouldnt be there. I can accept clubs arent everyones bag, but dissing them because its not your thing is a bit childish. I really dislike team sports, but i wouldnt go round claiming everyone who likes them should be shot. Each to their own. Live and let live etc.

Fingerprinting at libraries is probably closer then you think, its a valuable resource for them, knowing what people read and think about is very valued info

[armoured_amazon]

Good job I stopped going to bars/clubs when the smoking ban came into force.

Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain Launches Microchip Implantation for VIP Members

Baja Beach Club owner Conrad Chase wanted something unique to identify his VIP patrons. Other clubs had special jewelry or key chains, but he was looking for something special. After brainstorming, he came up with the idea to implant his VIP members with VeriChip's implantable microchip.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2004/040704bajabeachclub.htm

Barcelona nightclub chips customers

US cybercorporation Applied Digital Solutions has developed the so-called "VeriChip", a "miniaturised, implantable radio frequency identification device (RFID) that has the potential to be used in a variety of personal identification, security, financial, and potential healthcare applications".

This subdermal RFID chip could be used to restrict use of firearms to authorised users or in a less lethal scenario pay for drinks and admission at the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona.

Yes that's right - Annanova reports how 'VeriChip' means regular clubbers at the Baja Beach will "no longer have to wait in queue to pay to get in". Absolutely in this modern age is obviously far easier to have a "brief outpatient 'chipping' procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anaesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip" than to flash the cash.

I've got you under my skin

A number of VIP clubbers at a Barcelona nightclub have been implanted with a chip in their upper arm. But, as Andrew Losowsky reports, the potential uses of the technology could be wide ranging

What a toolish thing to say. What the fuck does that even mean? You're glad you're not part of a new different kind of social interaction? More fool you. It's not ideal but it's good and it works, im not an advocate of the smoking ban, but thats me, i will try and see a positive in a negative situation.

[jamston]

I'd say people who play team sports should be shot ;)
But see my humor is just that way... its not to be taken seriously by any measure.

I hear you, ten four kemosabi, or something. It's more of a testament to how things like humour are lost in the restrictive text of a forum. If we'd been sitting round a table in a pub(not a club), im sure i would have picked up on the humour and not acted like a pompous ass. Peace.

Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain Launches Microchip Implantation for VIP Members

Violet Jones/Infowars.com | April 7 2004

Baja Beach Club owner Conrad Chase wanted something unique to identify his VIP patrons. Other clubs had special jewelry or key chains, but he was looking for something special. After brainstorming, he came up with the idea to implant his VIP members with VeriChip's implantable microchip.

Alex has spoken many times over the years about how the making the chip "fun" and how by giving it an elite status soon an entire of young teenagers will be arguing with their parents demanding that they let them be implanted so that they can be in the "in" crowd. The Baja Beach Club and Chase have proved that the trend has started.

When I spoke to Mr. Chase this morning he told me that his implant launch had gotten the international media's attention. He himself was implanted at the media launch of the VIP implant system along with stars from the Spanish version of the TV Show, "Big Brother," (called "Grand Hermano" in Spain).

He also told me that he had been in touch with the VeriChip Corporation and that there were several new developments with their implant system including the Belgian subsidiary of firearm company, FN Herstal, which manufactures Browning and Smith and Wesson firearms, launching a implant-firearm system which would make a firearm functional only to the individual implanted with its corresponding microchip.

The Baja Beach Club is one of Barcelona's hottest night spots. The website describes its VIP area:

"En Baja Beach Club contamos con una zona especialmente habilitada para nuestro público VIP, así como diversos servicios exclusivos para dicho público.

Somos la primera discoteca del mundo en ofrecer el VIP VeriChip. Mediante un chip digital integrado, nuestros VIPs pueden identificarse cómo tal, así como pagar sus consumiciones sin la necesidad de aportar ningún tipo de documento.

Translation:

"We have a special zone at Baja beach Club where only VIPs are allowed, which has various exclusive services for these members.

We are the first discotheque in the world to offer the VIP VeriChip. Using an integrated (imbedded) microchip, our VIPS can identify themselves and pay for their food and drinks without the need for any kind of document (ID)."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's an interview with Conrad Chase from the website, its translation follows:

"Conrad Chase, director del Baja Beach Club, accede a una entrevista de la agencia EFE hablando sobre el VIP VeriChip.

Tal como explicas, el Verichip es una tecnología consistente en el implante de un chip digital bajo la piel. ¿Qué motivo te ha inducido a utilizar esta tecnología en un local como el Baja Beach Club?

Dos razones. La primera es seguir la filosofía de originalidad que Baja Beach Club ha llevado desde el principio. Y la segunda es sacar provecho a la teconología más avanzada.

La mayoría de empresarios de la noche no son originales, suelen copiar lo que otra gente crea. Sólo en la provincia de Barcelona, podemos contar más de 5 copias del Baja Beach Club.

La imposición de este chip bajo la piel, se hace mediante una jeringa. ¿Este método de imposición provoca alguna molestia o efecto secundario?.

El chip es de vidrio, totalmente inocuo y llega con una jeringa de único uso esterilizada.

Conrad, ¿crees que el VeriChip tendrá buena acogida?

Si, conozco a mucha gente con ganas de implantárselo. Actualmente, casi todo el mundo lleva piercings, tatuajes o silicona.

¿Llevas tatuajes, piercings o silicona?

No, aunque he llevado piercings. Quizás algún día me tatue el logo del Baja.

En la vida rutinaria, ¿provoca alguna molestia?, ¿es detectable por los sensores de metales?.

(Risas), mucha gente me pregunta esto. Molestia no provoca ninguna, no se engancha, no pincha, no duele… Y detectable por los sensores de metales… bueno, quizás, pero cualquier botón de tejano lleva 10 veces más metal que el Verichip.

¿Quién se encarga de implantarlo?

Su colocación la puede hacer cualquier persona con la titulación de ATS, aunque, en el Baja Beach, la colocación la hará un médico.

¿Cómo se puede extraer?

Es un proceso muy sencillo. Tan sencillo como extraer una pequeña astilla.

¿Qué ventajas tendrá en el Baja Beach Club un cliente que se lo quiera poner?,

No hace falta llevar monedero. Con sólo pasar por nuestro lector, Baja Beach Club conocerá quién es, y de qué saldo dispone. De momento también tendrá entrada libre y acceso a la zona VIP que inauguramos el día 25 de marzo.

¿Es gratuito para vuestros clientes?

El día de su lanzamiento, lo regalaremos a todos nuestros VIPs. A partir de ese día el coste de implantación será de 125€.

¿Si me implanto el VeriChip, me servirá sólo para el Baja?

El objetivo de esta tecnología es llevar un sistema de identificación a nivel mundial que anule la necesidad de llevar documento de identidad y tarjeta de crédito. El Verichip que implantaremos en el Baja, no será sólo para el Baja, también es útil para cualquier otra empresa que haga uso de esta tecnología."


Translation:

Conrad Chase, Director of Baja Beach Club's Interview with the EFE News Agency about the VIP VeriChip

As you explain it, the VeriChip is a technology consisting of the implantation of a digital chip under the skin. What was your motivation in introducing the use of this technology in a location like the Baja Beach Club.

Two reasons. The first is to follow the philosophy of originality that the Baja Beach Club has had from its origination. The second is to benefit from the latest most advanced technology.

The majority of night clubs aren't originals and only copy that which other people have created. In the province of Barcelona, we have for the 5 copy-cats of the Baja Beach Club.

The placement of this sub dermal chip is done with a syringe. Does this implantation method cause any troubles or side effects?

The chip is made of glass, totally innocuous and is implanted by a a single-use, sterilized syringe.

Conrad, do you think that the VeriChip will have a warm reception?

Yes, I know many people who want to be implanted. Actually, almost everybody has piercings, tattoos or silicone.

Do you have tattoos, piercings or silicone?

No, but I have worn piercings. Maybe one day I'll get a tattoo of the Baja Beach Club logo.

In routine daily life does (the chip) cause you any trouble? No metal detectors react to it?

(Laughs) Lots of people ask me this. It doesn't cause any problems, it doesn't pinch, it doesn't hurt...as far as being detectible by metal detectors...well, maybe, but any Texan button has 10 times more metal that the VeriChip.

Who implants the chip?

The implantation can be done by any person with an ATS title, and in The Baja Beach the implantation will be done by a medic.

How is it extracted?

It's a very simple process. As easy as extracting a small splinter.

What advantages will a baja Beach Club client that wants to be implanted have?

You won't have to carry a wallet. By simply passing by our reader, the Baja beach Club will know who you are and what your credit balance is. From the moment of their implantation they will also have free entry and access to the VIP area which we will formally open the 25th of March.

Is it free for your clients?

On the day of the launch, we are giving it for free to all of our VIPS. After that day, the cost of implantation will be 125 Euros.

If I implant myself will it only be valid at the Baja?

The objective of this technology is to bring an ID system to a global level that will destroy the need to carry ID documents and credit cards. The veriChip the we implant in the Baja will not only be for the Baja, but is also useful for whatever other enterprise that makes use of this technology.

Applications Continue to Grow for Applied Digital Solutions' VeriPay; Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain Employs RFID Technology for Cashless Payment System

PALM BEACH, Fla--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2004--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSXD), an advanced technology development company, today announced that Baja Beach Clubs International had employed the VeriPay System, developed by Applied Digital's VeriChip Corporation, at a night club in Spain.

Launched at a global security conference in November, 2003, the VeriPay System is a new syringe-injectable microchip implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions. The chip implant is an advance over credit cards and smart cards, which, absent biometrics and appropriate safeguard technologies, are subject to theft, resulting in identity fraud.

"We are the only company today offering human implantable ID technology," said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital Solutions. "We believe the market opportunity for this technology is substantial, and high-profile successes such as in Spain will serve as catalysts for broader adoption."

"The VeriPay chipping event was a huge success," said Conrad K. Chase, Director of the Baja Beach Clubs International. "Everyone embraced the electronic payment application. My customers like the fact that they do not have to carry a credit card or ID card with them. With the VeriPay system, they no longer have to worry about their credit cards getting lost or stolen."

FIRST DISCO-BAR THAT WILL INJECT VERICHIP ON CLIENTS! *PIC*

Rumor Mill News
Posted By: Spectator < Send E-Mail >
Date: Tuesday, 6 April 2004, 7:32 p.m.

I have read about many fronts opened for to impose microchipping on people. First all starts with proposals to implant people that were forced to obey orders ( Proposed microchipping on US military ) or depend on the state institutions ( proposal for implant all the homeless ) even proposals for implant elderly people

As a sign of things to come, in March, 18th: Here, in Barcelona we had another front open: the recreational front, as an attempt to make “fashionable” the implant.

The Baja Beach Club disco/bar ( in the Olympic port, a great night
recreational area ) will be the first disco/bar in Spain that will implant
on his/her clients an injectable subcutaneous transponder that will give
them free access without documentation, pay the consummations and have access to the VIP room.

The inauguration of the method was presented by some famous people that were "microchipped". That was shown in TV programs and shows.

Even more ominous were the declarations of the disco/bar owners, "The
chip will prevail in the future, because in those times the people will use
it as cash, obviating the need of a credit card." I think that the first
stage of "microchipping" of people has reached our country; that is being launched to appeal to young people in first place.

Conrad Chase, The director of the Baja beach Disco-Bars ( There are more Baja Beach Discos in other countries, Netherlands, as an example ) is the responsible of the Verichip injection for his clients. He explained that a simple injection will implant this chip. This implant will be used for to charge money or automatically open the doors. “When the client is entering into the discotheque we will know who is and what is his/her account status.”
The injection will cost $ 153.

I wish I was ....I got in for free without a chip lol .....unless i already have one ^^


I reckon you do already have, inserted cartman style ;) {messing}

Yup the sheep will take these chips faster than they can order pizza. Watch it happen.

bit of a variation on Pastor Martin Niemöller's poem

1st They said I needed a chip to get into a pup, I didn't speak up because I wasn't a drinker.

And then they said I needed a chip If I wanted to drive, I wasn't a driver so I didn't speak up.

And then they said if you don't take the chip you won't be able to work, as I was self employed I didn't take the chip

And then they microchipped all our babies at birth........ now the vampire's have total control

[darkovic]

Calm down it was a joke. I hate clubs, what can I say, they play music too loudly to talk (usually bad music), people expect you to dance, you can't talk to anyone because its too loud, everyone gets drunk and stupid, you can't read because its either too dark or the lights are flashing around.

The widespread fingerprinting of UK primary school children has been roundly condemned by watchdog Privacy International.

The human rights watchdog today warned that tens of thousands of UK school children are being fingerprinted by schools, often without the knowledge or consent of their parents.

This under-reported electronic finger printing is being conducted as part of a cost cutting "automation" of school libraries. Privacy International has condemned the procedure, branding it "dangerous, illegal and unnecessary".

I really dislike team sports

Fear ye not:


ENGLAND has asked to be excused from sports for the rest of the year after producing a note from its mum.

Senior teachers are still assessing whether the note is genuine, but it seems likely the country will be allowed to use Wednesday and Friday afternoons for study time.

The note reads: "Dear teacher, My England should not have to do sports no more cause it's got an infected toe and a swollen wrist.

"The doctor says it needs to stop doing P.E. and be allowed to sit in the corner with its hand down its pants."

Meanwhile classmates of the slow, awkward country welcomed the decision, stressing that having England on your team was worse than having to play with a girl.

Wales said: "England used to be quite good at sport but now it's all fat and speccy and useless.

"It just stands there in its vest and its crap trainers, looking like a twat."

Wales added: "You know it's time to pack it in when Scotland gets picked before you do."

But Mr Hobbs, the PE teacher, said this was typical of England, adding: "You horrid little turd.

"Strip down to your fatboy undies and climb those wall bars before you get my toe up your arse
