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?

I will be shocked if the guard with the computer actually has access to all that information that he scan, I mean this may not be relevant but I use Square up, I scan credit cards I don't have all the credit card information when I scan it.

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.

I'm also a vapor and where I live in the Inland Empire California that is the law now

Interesting. I don’t think it’s law here and when I get my vape online, I don’t have to do that.

i am not sure if it's a lew, but vape shop owners are using ID Scanners to stay in FDA compliance.
