Can I be forced to be fingerprinted by campground?
I own a lot at a campground in Indiana.
This campground is different than some
as to the fact that owners actually own
lots instead of renting and pay
property tax. Recently management of
the campground stated on social media
that our key card swipe access to our
property will be denied and be replaced
by a fingerprint system. We will be
denied access until we allow them to
fingerprint our first two fingers. Is
this legal. I do not want to do this.
The management is very shifty.

It is legal. There is no law against private businesses requiring fingerprints for either security checks or for, as in this case, a biometric access system. They can shift to this system, requiring fingerprints, if they want; in the future, expect more and more locations and businesses to shift to this model.
