If you live in Poway, California your kids will have to be fingerprinted if they want to use the skateboard park and submit to a fingerprint scanner in order to gain entry. More state and local governments all around the country as well as the Feds are shredding the Bill of Rights a little more every day. George Orwell had no idea what an accurate prediction he made.
Up until 6 p.m. Friday, skaters could simply walk right through and pretty much do whatever they want.
After 6 p.m., however, a fingerprint scan will be required in order to enter the skate park. Skaters will have to register their fingerprints and have a photo taken in advance.
City officials said the new security measure will allow law enforcement to determine who was at the park if something were to happen there. The city also said the added security measure is an effort to stop an increase in vandalism, drug use and break ins that have plagued the park for the last five years.
"This is a city park; it has to be returned to the citizens. We want kids in here, we want adults in here, we want a secure, safe environment; this is not a free-for-all," said Poway City Councilman Jim Cunningham.
