William Berry of The Collegian on Cops use ID info in criminal cases:
Scanning a driver's license at the local liquor store can reveal more than just age.
When a patron's ID is scanned to ensure authenticity at a liquor store, the person's purchase and identification information is added to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's (PLCB) electronic database in Harrisburg, PLCB spokeswoman Molly McGowan said.
Police can retrieve the information for use in criminal cases, she said.
Further in the article, Berry writes "Students understand the logic of keeping a database, but at the same time say there must be limits." Yeah the limit should be drawn at NO database. Period.
