アムステルダムのネザーランド-マーストリヒト南オランダの市のマリファナを販売するために認可された喫茶店は証明を助け指紋採取の顧客およびスキャンをIDこの夏そのような販売を支配する次の規則に関して`始める。

「これは私達が喜んでしているが」、絞りかすJosemans、マーストリヒトの`sの喫茶店の連合の議長、言った水曜日をではない私達の中心の苦痛との何か。 彼はRotterdamおよび複数のオランダの国境に近い都市の店がスーツの後で考慮していたことを言った。

Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but cities may license shops to sell no more than 5 grams per customer per day. The shops may not sell to anyone under 18, nor permit drugs other than marijuana or hashish on the premises.

As a result, 11 of Maastricht‘s 26 licensed shops have been closed, leaving just 15 open.

“We‘re not going to give this information to anybody else, and we‘re not linked to each other or the Internet,” Josemans said.

He said the shops already have video surveillance cameras and cooperate with police in criminal investigations, but the stored fingerprints would be too low in quality for use by police.

City spokesman Math Wijnands said the drug trade brought a host of problems, most notably petty criminals who seek to sell marijuana or other drugs in the neighborhood of the licensed coffee shops.

The city is negotiating to move more than half of the remaining shops to the outskirts of town ― angering neighboring countries like Belgium who object to having what amount to marijuana drive-through stores on their doorsteps.

“If they‘re going to take ID checks into their own hands and obey the rules as much as possible, then that‘s only to be applauded,” he said.

Josemans said the system had been vetted with the Netherlands‘ digital privacy watchdog, known by its Dutch acronym CBP, and did not violate any laws. A CBP spokeswoman could not immediately confirm that.
