the dna thing was one of the firstthings my probation officer did the first time i met him^ I never knew that chinky about DNA being on file once you commit a felony. But why would only one department have your fingerprints if they bothered to take them? Wouldn't it at least go into some kind of database instead of a single department? I thought there was a national or at least a statewide registry of fingerprints.
there is only 3 states that dont make every felon submit a dna sample..nebraska, kentucky and new hampshire and15 states will collect it certain misdemeanors

and the fingerprints thing would only be that one department cause its just some school or somesort of special field trip thing..at least it was for me when i got it done when i was like 6-7 years old not to mention back then thre was no computer national database..that was back in like 1992ish...even now a days i doubt it just cause of how old you are, so if anything it would be a state one
Chinky, you've been locked up before, have you had the luxury of getting your hands printed on the computers? When they first tried printing me I wasn't cooperating, and they brought me to the mental hospital for a minute since I was acting crazy and told them I was scripted meds including benzos and I hadn't taken them yet that day and was close to seizing (exaggerating obviously) and so they were legally obligated to bring me. I ended up finding the paperwork from the hospital papers the other day, and turns out they gave me barbiturates to treat me after I told them a way higher dose of xanax than I was actually scripted. I just remember them printing me when I got back, and they were shocked that I was the same person bc I was so calm compared to before. Thanks to those pills I slept like a baby on that wooden bench with the roll of TP that I was told was my pillow.
Anyway back to the computer printing program. I was pretty sedated, but I remember them taking my prints with like some type of machine that recorded them on the computer, and they ended up with like a full image of my hand on the computer, from my fingers to my palms, and even the side along the pinky. They would roll my fingers or parts of my hand over the scanner part, and it would record it onto the computer screen. It was some next level shit, that made the paper prints of just the finger tips look like a waste of time.
Edit: Wiggi, I guess this kinda answers your question. Somewhere, some place, my hand is in computer database. I know the specific precinct, but I don't know how far it goes beyond there. I've been printed with the regular ink at least once before (I was blackout for a few arrests so I don't know if they printed me those times, probably not since they were minor violations). I think that most prints need to be compared side by side, so a mass computer comparison doesn't really work, but I could be mistaken. I think you need to be a suspect and have prints on file or have them taken then to actually be busted on a charge, as opposed to just being in a system and them putting a dusting into their computer and doing a nationwide comparison and it matching up with you.
yeah ive had my fingerprints taken like that a few times, a couple local stations got the machine and of course county does...no ink or anything they just take each finger and roll it right to left while hitting the foot pedal to save it amd them yeah they eventually do your whole hand..ive seen sometimes they make you give a thumb print..ive seen cops make people give up thumbprints for criminal tickets that they dont arrest you for just as promise to show up in court
but i dont understand why yall give the cops a hard time once your already in handcufs and at the station..nothing good gonna come up out of it and they just delay booking you and you en d up sitting htere for hours longer then needed..everytime i get arrested i just 'yes sir, no sir' them and amd just be cool and try to get out as soon as possible, if it is possible..they already got you so whats the point of fighting with them
