In some locations, fencing has become a major issue. To address this problem, one suggestion is to implement a one-time entrance fee that can be paid at a debit/credit kiosk. This fee, which would be refundable after a day or two, would likely cost between $3-$5 per entrance. This approach could deter individuals without credit cards on hand or those who do not want their presence at the location recorded.
Another proposed solution is to install small cameras at each entrance or transaction point to take a snapshot of individuals entering the location. With this system in place, there would be records of names associated with each entrance, proof of presence, and a picture of each individual. This extra level of security and identification could help prevent theft and fraud and even aid in cases of credit card theft. However, it’s unfortunate that such restrictions are necessary for those who simply wish to spend time with their children. While this may be one person’s perspective, preventative measures like these may be essential until the situation improves.
