GameStop Fingerprinting People Trading in Games - briefly
(hx) 08:23 PM CEST - Aug,02 2014 - Post a comment / read (2)
Some GameStop stores in Philadelphia are now requiring that people who trade in games provide a fingerprint scan for "certain transactions," CBS Philadelphia reports today based on conversations with the retailer, local government, police, and shoppers. According to GameStop, it is following a local law that says the retailer is allowed to collect thumbprints. These scans eventually make their way into a database that helps law enforcement nab thieves who seek to use GameStop as a pawn shop of sorts to unload their goods.

Philadelphia city solicitor Shelley Smith says that GameStop is not required to collect the thumbprints to abide by the city's pawnbroker order. "What GameStop does doesn't meet any of the elements of the definition in the code, so the pawnbreaker ordinance doesn't apply to GameStop," she said. The Philadelphia Police Department, on the other hand, tells CBS Philadelphia that GameStop is being proactive by obtaining customer fingerprints and uploading them to a database known as LeadsOnline.

Oh boy, next they'll be taking blood samples and... certain "DNA" that you release after being "stimulated" :P

I guess this is how they want to spook people away from trading...

I gave up trade-ins. You just get ripped off anyway. As soon as you trade it in they up the price 20-30 bucks, sometimes more.
