Is asking for ID when entering becoming routine?

Same law that allows bouncing drunks...

...I would think.

I get IDd all the time to verify my age. Many casinos don't let anyone in at all under 21. They need to check IDs for this purpose. And since they can kick anyone out for any reason, they could ask you to stand on your head if they wanted to. If you refuse, they can ask you to leave. If you refuse to leave, they can trespass you.

Re: Same law that allows bouncing drunks...

The people ID'd were about 33 years old, I doubt there was any problem with their age. I just wonder if this casino is making it a point to ID everyone as they walk through the doors. Does anyone have experience at this casino that could corroborate this information?
 
Bally's in the same city

has a sign that says anyone under 40 will be asked for ID. Guess they knew Jamie must be in his 30's.

Re: decline of privacy. I'm much more afraid of new gov't intrusions into our privacy than about casinos. I can always choose to not go to casinos that don't respect my anonymity, but I can't avoid giving up every vital fact to Big Brother, especially since our information seems to be suddenly a matter of national security.

If you are concerned about these issues (and I can see that many of us are), check out www.epic.org. They have lots of resources about things like surveillance, tracking by gov't or private investigators, etc. You might also learn about the legal rights around using fake IDs at private establishments like casinos.

p.s. According to the article, Foxx's sister is 25. I'm 25, and get IDd fairly regularly (I thought my prematurely receding hairline was proof enough, but I guess not). Maybe they were concerned about her. Sounds like she and Foxx were pretty much just a-holes, anyway.
