| about 2 years agoGood job chicago mayor !!!!!! To eliminate any dangerous situations everyone in a party bus needs to submit their i.d. - a person with bad intentions will behave knowing there is a copy of their picture and name with the party bus company. The operators also need to know if the vehicle is simply cruising all night. Most bars,etc dont want a bunch of drunk non paying customers in their business because they usually start problems. Your not going to pay a cover to get kicked out of a club? The bus involved in the shooting simply told the police it was a private bus (lied) to the officer Same as the hungtington beach party bus that the passengers stole items at a 7 11. Cameras are also a great mandate !!!! When your on camera you will behave and at least there will be a video on who started the problems. For insurance issues, a camera is also helpfull
