It depends on countries, in Italy the data on the ID of guests (of a hotel or similar) is transmitted electronically (within 24 hours) to the Police.

This since a few years, 2013 I believe, until then you had to send (via snail mail) the "records" or bring them daily to the nearest Police (or Carabinieri) station.

The provision is since 1978, it was a Law approved in a short time due to the "emergency of fighting terrorism".

Thanks that makes so much more sense. That would be harder to work around. Maybe give out "free" rooms as promotions then on the books claim they paid 1K a night and another 1k in room service or something.

Spain does the same thing.
