While I didn’t do a ride or delivery where they scanned my ID, I wouldn’t allow it. I’m not giving some random stranger my address. A vape shop I used to go, starting scanning your ID. I stopped going there.

Security Scanning Your ID
So one of the local colleges erected a guard shack at the entrance during covid, but generally still just waived Uber drivers through. After covid waned they really never stopped anyone (great job if you can get it!). But today I go there to do a drop off, and now they have a big sign and are asking for ID from everyone in the car. The security guard wanted my ID and my passenger's ID. My passenger didn't have a government ID on her, but I handed mine over like a sheep, and the guy actually scanned it with his computer! WTF. After I left I got mad about it, and decided that I wasn't going back there to get my ID scanned every time. Sure enough my next trip is a pick up at that university. I messaged the passenger and told him I wasn't coming because I didn't want my ID scanned, and asked him to cancel the trip. After some arguing, I ended up cancelling the trip.
What do you think? Do you hand your ID over to get scanned?

My concern is Security Guard is a low paying job typically with high turnover. Yes they have to pass background and security clearances, but you don’t know what they’re going to do with your personal info.Who does collect that information, though? Does the college get a report listing everyone who entered the campus, or is it kept at the security company?
Interesting. I don’t think it’s law here and when I get my vape online, I don’t have to do that.I'm also a vapor and where I live in the Inland Empire California that is the law now
Is the college the OP had to get scanned at a private college or a state college? A state college is public, and overseen by the the state.Fourth amendment does apply when you're entering a place of private ownership. Nor are they making you do that. If you want to enter that property you have to submit certain things. That is not illegal search and seizure or any kind of violation of any amendment in the Constitution. You always have the right to refuse and walk away.
