Barwatch Program implemented in Downtown Victoria bars

| chockfull User Info... | http://www.timescolonist.com/Bars+swipe+patron+collect+data/1773848/story.html This topic on Vibrant Victoria gave a little interesting information from a much loved Soprano's fathead "Now, you will say that bars do not "collect" the information, but you expose it to us willingly now, it could be collected easily, it might require some memory training, but it could be done. Treoscope takes a picture of your face, all our security cameras track your every movement except inside the washrooms and every interaction with other patrons etc. for as much as 6 months! In the daytime when the music is not too loud, let me tell you, it has your conversations on it too, if you are close enough to a camera." Just another reason to avoid Soprano's. - Thu, 9 Jul 2009 2:45pm | ||

| Matteus User Info... |  "Baywatch Program implemented in Downtown Victoria bars" david hasselhoff patroling the streets! I'd be scared shitless! - Sat, 11 Jul 2009 9:56am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Look at that gut suck-in action. If Hasselhoff were in charge it would be fruitless. He'd be more drunk than the entire city combined. - Sat, 11 Jul 2009 11:08am | ||
| Spinvis User Info... | Hasselhoff is also the name of a very good Rotterdam song - Sat, 11 Jul 2009 2:26pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Does this mean we have to wear beach gear to our local drinking establishment? - Sat, 11 Jul 2009 11:40pm | ||
| Ebolavire User Info... | I couldn't help but notice that when the barwatch program was first announced in the newspaper there was a response letter supporting it in the same edition. Do they think everyone is too dumb to notice how inconsistent that is? Bearing that in mind, what do you think the chances are that the author of the letter also happens to be an employee of Black Press Inc? - Sun, 26 Jul 2009 9:40pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | I don't like this. I don't like this at all. What kind of world will our Grandchildren live in if we allow this suspicion with out cause. - Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:08am | ||
| Kyle User Info... | I imagine the legality of this program could be successfully challenged due to infringement of legislation governing the protection of personal information & privacy... - Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:54pm | ||
