We're naming-and-shaming restaurants, bars and music venues that force people to have their ID scanned into huge surveillance databases operated by companies like Patronscan. This sort of thing is most common for alcohol-serving venues that are open late or 24 hours. Check this list before you head out somewhere, though be cautious since places that do scan IDs might not be listed here yet!

London
- VQ (Bloomsbury, Chelsea)
Brighton
Brighton and Hove City Council and the area's police force are known to be coercing almost all nightclubs into scanning IDs.
- Molly Malone's - forced onto them by Brighton and Hove City Council, tried to have overturned in court but was unsuccessful.
