Pilot scheme putting louts in the picture

A new telephone system has been launched in Bournemouth town centre that aims to stop troublemakers from getting into bars, clubs and pubs, reports The Dorset Echo.

"Doorlink enables doorstaff to take pictures of any problem drinkers via their mobile phones and within seconds circulate them to other venues in a bid to stamp out violent behaviour.

The pilot scheme - the first of its kind - is also linked up to the police and CCTV centre and all those with Doorlink mobile phones can view the pictures.

... A total of 17 venues are trying out Doorlink and, when it goes live, around 38 venues will be involved."
