Warning about Digital Drivers License Scanning
I unfortunately had my DL scanned before entering a certain club this past weekend before I realized what they were doing. I remembered hearing Sharon Harrington (head of MVC) on a radio program saying that this was illegal, so I contacted them about it, and this is the response I got:
Quote:
Please be advised that it is the Motor Vehicle Commission's (MVC) position that the practice of scanning New Jersey Digital Driver Licenses for the purpose of collecting and using personal information encoded on the license for solicitation or marketing purposes is in violation of the New Jersey Drivers' Privacy Protection Act, a law enacted to protect against the improper use of the license and the personal information contained on it. Please be assured that MVC takes very seriously its responsibility to protect against the improper obtainment, disclosure, and use of personal information of New Jersey citizens that is both contained in MVC records and encoded on the MVC issued Digital Driver License.
Further, the MVC is referring all reported instances of Digital Driver License swiping to other State authorities, including the Attorney General's office, for their evaluation and further action.
Thank you for notifying us of this activity. We hope this information is helpful to you.

There was no line, so we walked right up to security without seeing them scanning other people's DLs. I handed my DL to one person while my GF was handing me her's, and I didn't notice them scanning it 'til they were pulling it out of the hand-held computer. So just be aware that this can happen, but they're not supposed to be doing it according to the MVC. It's pretty aggravating it happened to me, but I'll be much more vigilent the next time I hand out my ID.

for solicitation or marketing purposes sounds like it means that as long as they aren't spamming you with junk mail, they can scan your DL

Kat Man Du was ordered to stop.
I highly doubt that bars and clubs are willing to spend $$$ on these machines only to check ages.

i would tend to agree with this. they'd be ok if they could make a coupla bucks on the side by selling your info to offset the cost of the machine, though. imagine the list that they could generate based on the info available on your driver license... and the myriad companies interested in obtaining a list like that, plus what they would pay to get that list. unbe****inglievable.

at a lot of places its not just to scan the DL for authenticity but to take a picture of it for safety reasons. it is rediculious tho

yup...they did that at a local bar. they would take a picture of your DL and a picture of you as you walked into the bar. it was a measure they took to protect themselves if they got raided and underage drinkers were discovered. they could just pull up the person's picture along with the ID they gave them
