west lakes quotes the following:
All licensed premises belonging to Pubwatch schemes in north-west England have committed to considering the use of banning orders on individuals who subject ambulance crews to physical or verbal assaults in any of their premises. The banning order if agreed by Pubwatch members will see them excluded from all pubs and clubs within that particular Pubwatch area
This idea has been considered by common carriers and retail establishments here in the States as well. It makes for a good P.R. "sound byte" for the news media, but not much else.
My question is, how do you enforce something like this? Let's say the offender comes back to the same establishment the following day, or a week later, and there are different personnel on duty who don't recognize him? I recall a commuter train system that was proposing to "ban" certain troublesome passengers. Yeah, right. How do you recognize the offender ahead of time and prevent him from stepping foot on the property? Should everyone have to pass through a security checkpoint and flash a scanable ID badge? Welcome to Brave New World.
