Question by Touch Blueprints: When a restaurant records your ID in a paper log, when you order alcohol, is this shared with the police?
I mean, immediately, and with other states- assuming a judge in another state has ordered you to have “no consumption of alcohol”? I’m referring to the paper on which they take down your driver’s license #, and ask you to sign? Like a sports bar.
Just hypothetically (I’m in a criminal justice class, where I need to know, right now).

i dont know what bar your going to that documents everyone who walks in the door but no they cannot reveal personal information unless a court order is executed to investigate your personal records, including bar records i guess. never heard of a bar doing that though.

No,but it is kept on file,for inspection by state or federal inspectors.

Like a sports bar? Where do bars do that? I’ve never seen it, ever.

Those records are kept for liability reasons, to show they checked your ID, and in the event you cause problems in the bar. If you are of age and do not cause problems, the police have no reason to check the records.
However, if the court received a tip you were in violation of a court order, they could subpoena the logs.
