Re: police-requested guest registration
well then, if i was designing hotel POS systems, i’d
1. limit ID intake to strictly what’s _locally_ legally required.
2. upload to the relevant police db and delete
3. if 2 doesn’t exist, delete as soon as you reach end of locally legislated retention period.
fwiw, when I visit the US, it’s always just the CC# and car plate #. ditto within Canada. so that’s at least 2 countries not needing retention.
