Fingerprint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


1.What is a fingerprint?
A system of lines that make up ridges and grooves that show a distint pattern that is unique to each individual. In addition to the actual print ( which is transformed into a number code, when doing a complete set , right and left hand, it includes a coding system for the entire grouping

2. How do you fingerprint someone?
There are two basic methods, the older system using a "ink" substande that the finger is rolled on, and then the finger is gently rolled into the paper or card stock. The newer methods use a scanner where the finger and/or hand is placed on a screen and the computer scans the print.

3. What are the different types of prints?
Each finger has its own specific print, and the absence of a finger is a noted entry into a finger print classification

4. How do you classify a fingerprint?
By counting specific ridges and patterns in each print, most are done by computers now, and only after the computer finds a match, that a person verifies that match

5. If you don't want your finger prints on something what do you wear to cover them up?
Gloves, of course, but as for the actual finger, you can burn it off with acid but then that new disfigurement would be a new print pattern of itself, so you would not gain anything

6. How accurate are fingerprint test?
They are always subject to the readers ability, but they are accepted as 100 percent accurate by all US courts

7. Have you ever made a mistake fingerprinting anyone?
Not a mistake, but with the older ink method, there are sometimes blurrs or areas not printed well, if you don't double check a print card may not always be 100 percent readable The new computer scanners will not allow that to happen

8. What are some statistics about fingerprinting?
Not sure what you want

9. Do you recommend fingerprinting children?
Yes, it provides a method of identification, I also feel that a child's DNA record should be keep for ID purpose if needed.

10. Are footprints as useful as fingerprints?
No, since that is not a normal method of ID.

Chuck you just wrote some kids assignment for school my love,

Love this answer you make me laugh so witty.
Hope he gets a good mark!!

Just can't see fingerprinting being in a school assignment, perhaps car theft 101, or breaking and entering for the mentally challenged.

Guess it could be a criminal justice college class, but would hope that a college student would know to open their text book and the answer would be right there.

Of course they missed the better parts, like it is harder to fingerprint someone who is trying to kick you and hit you, and you have one of them hands hand cuffed while trying to old their other hand still. So a lot harder when they are covered with human waste and smell like a toilet. Or if they are spitting at you. That makes taking a fingerprint a real sport.

Sounds Like My Job A Mom To A 4 Year Old. To Bad You Could Not Sedate Them.
I Was Talking To A Officer Yesterday At The Morgue. He Is New And He Is On Fingerprinting Because He Is The Newbe And He Can't Handle The Smell Of Some Of The Guys That Come In. He Said It Is Torture. I Told Him To Meet Me At The Funeral Home Where I Gave Him So Liquid Smell The Stuff You Put Under Your Nose For De Comp. He Came So Now He Is One Up On The Rest Of The Boys.
Funny You Never Know What Someone's Job Is Like Do You!!

Yes, we were so glad when they put the hard plastic seats into the cars and the plastic sheld. Then we could just take a pressure washer and wash the inside out ( it had a drain plug in the floor board.)
