Now Big Brother will watch where you eat…
Washington Governor Jay Inslee has ordered restaurants to track every dine-in customer if they want to reopen.
According to the order, restaurants must demand that customers show their IDs and then keep a log of everyone who eats there.
This is Inslee's attempt to make contact tracing easier if a breakout happens…
But many critics worry that this level of tracking sets a dangerous precedent.
There are legitimate constitutional concerns about the government's ability to track and record where and when people eat.
Restaurants are required to keep their logs for 30 days, which include the customer's phone number, email address, and date and time they came to eat.

They're going for tracking in a backasswards way. Germany has a system that's working, with minimal risk of outing anyone's identity.
ReplyDeleteWhy 11:50, not needed
Delete11:50. And I have a bridge to sell you....
ReplyDeleteYou also have to tell them your phone carrier so they can get easier tracking info on your movement.
ReplyDeleteSo, now you must surrender you fourth and fifth amendment right to go eat at a restaurant? I DON'T THINK SO!
ReplyDeleteSadly, though it's easy to hold the restaurants, and the officials responsible...This can ONLY happen IF the CITEZENS themselves allow it to happen! The same holds true for ALL of us. We as Americans have become keyboard protestors, and TV prize fighters, because it's much easier to yell at the TV, and be a policy expert on the social networking platforms. Thats easy, because theres no risk, being faceless and nameless, but if we're not willing to really put some skin in the game by actually . Orginizong, or joining and taking part in action groups, voter groups, etc this crap will NEVER stop! WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO BE ACTIVLY INVOLVED

ReplyDeleteAmericans are sheeple.
They are an absolute lost cause.
Forget about them.
Hunker down and save your family and friends.
Yeah yer right. Well, no worries,my self & my family WILL be very safe and secure. Our lil slice of heaven compound is always secure, I just get frustrated when half the folks I know have all the answers, but nobody wants to put a dog in the race! Oh well, have a great weekend!
DeleteI will not eat at a restaurant that has to have my information, also I keep my tracking off so they can't automatically trace me. This will ruin restaurants also if they decide to do this along with the surcharge.
ReplyDeleteJust don't eat in the restaurants that do this. The damn government does enough tracking of every U.S. citizen without this too.
ReplyDeleteSeattle Starbucks are also going to collect fingerprints along with the customer info. They are having a form made and you also leave your right thumb print on it like at the bank on checks.
ReplyDeleteI understand you will have to have eye recognition to get FRIED CHICKEN
DeleteYou loved Facebook and Twitter and "smartphones" so much you didn't even yawn when they told you that they were tracking EVERYTHING you said and tracked EVERYWHERE you went and tracked EVERYONE you spoke with.
ReplyDeleteNOW, you are VERY ALARMED that they will track you in even greater detail??
Me thinks thou protests too much.
You CHEERED this stuff. They went all-out to give you what you wanted. They went full-bore and then some. You continued to cheer!!! You told us, "don't worry, if you aren't doing anything wrong...."
NOW, the best thing you cheerleaders can do is just STFU. Please.
The rest of us are now living with the products of your enthusiasm. Because, of course, YOU never do anything wrong. NOW, what do you say?
"I'm NOT doing that! They have no right!!" Yes they do.
You GAVE YOUR PERMISSION YEARS AGO!! Thanks.
Keep cheering, you sheep.
Tracking YOU is Next !!! Control everyone just like in Russia & China !!
ReplyDeleteIllegal , or should be !!! Next is Micro-chipping YOU too !!!!
After that you get a dog shock collar to keep you Home in your yard !!!
Drones will be out there too to keep an eye on you !!!
Unemployment will use them to see if you are working !!!!
