That's a great move! This will reduce the alcohol related crime as one will think twice before doing anything suspicious. The fear of getting banned from most of the pubs for months and the fingerprints will considerably reduce crime.

Outrageous invasion of privacy. Any pub where this takes place should be boycotted. What right do the police of any country have to take the fingerprints of any person on the basis that they might commit a crime. If this were acceptable why not just lock every person in teh UK up now 'just in case'? Why not fingerprint everyone at birth? Why not make it compulsory for everyone to describe their movements to teh police every day.

Anyone who stands for this sort of treatment just to have a pint is a bloody idiot.

kev, I agree with you, certainly this step would be Outrageous invasion of privacy, we should strongly object this move, I often visit a pub I fear this move will completely destroy one's mood. Probably later they will place CCTV camera I guess. :eek:
