A recent article in the North County Times takes a look at the community of Poway, California. Infamous for arbitrarily closing its park down when one or two skaters is caught without pads, the city is looking into a new system to allow skaters into the park.

According to the article, Community Services Director Robert Clark would install a scanner to read thumbprints for registered skaters. This device would be installed to “curb vandalism and misbehavior at the park.”

“Clark said the renovations would help the city monitor who is using the park. City Hall would maintain a database of the names, ages and fingerprints of people who register to use the park, he said. That information, with an upgraded camera system monitoring the park, will help keep skaters on their best behavior even when no one else is around, Clark said.”
