Club’s security personnel activity suspicious?
This discussion is relative to my review and other discussion topic all from within the last week.
I arrived at a club where they had elaborately armored and uniformed security outside the door. He did the basic pat down and wanting an I walked into the club. Once inside I realized that I needed to go back outside for something. So I walk out of the club no more than 2-3 minutes after entering.
The club and parking lot were both essentially empty. Maybe 3-4 cars in the lot. As I walk outside I see the security guy standing right outside my car 30 yds or so away. I stopped then and watched. He was peering inside the windows with his flashlight. Eventually he walked to the back of the car and looked down at it while writing something down on a pad of paper. When he finished there he began to make his way back to front club door where I was still standing. He was clearly surprised by my presence and as soon as he was within talking distance he muttered something about how he makes rounds in the lot to keep everything safe!
Needless to say I was very suspicious of his motives and intent!
I wont be returning anytime soon.

If we were to assume innocence, he may have thought your car looked familiar to another, such as a vagrant's or someone they trespassed from the club. This could explain why he would check to see who or what was inside, as well as to make note of the license plate.

Why is everyone surprised that we live in the surveillance, spying society that Orwell foretold almost 80 years ago?

From ChatGPT:
There are a few possible reasons security guards might be looking through car windows in a bar parking lot:
Checking for Illegal Activity – They could be looking for evidence of drug use, alcohol consumption (like open containers), or other illicit activities happening inside the car.
Monitoring for Intoxicated Drivers – If someone appears to be sleeping or slumped over in their car, security may check to ensure they’re not unconscious from excessive drinking or a medical emergency.
Preventing Car Break-Ins – Guards might be checking for valuables left in plain sight, which could attract thieves. If they notice something that could make the car a target, they might alert the owner or take preventive action.
Suspicious Behavior – If a vehicle is occupied but hasn’t moved for a long time, or if people are loitering inside the car, security might investigate to rule out potential trouble (e.g., someone waiting to rob a patron or engage in illegal transactions).
Verifying Unauthorized Parking – Some bars have designated parking for customers only. If a car looks abandoned or doesn’t belong, security might check for signs that it’s not in the right place.
Company Policy or Liability Concerns – If a bar has had issues with drunk driving incidents in the past, security may be instructed to check for signs that someone is planning to drive impaired and intervene if necessary.

Bars might keep a list of car plate numbers in the parking lot, for reasons that overlap with why they scan IDs.
