I am waiting for the "if you have nothing to hide" crowd to show up.
Great thing about the different gadgets these departments buy, add up the money paid and the vendor is making some good change (even if eventually the devices are not used in the field).
A few years ago there was some connected contractor who got some gadgets into schools that "could detect" drugs in a student's locker. Junk science but someone made some money (I don't have the recall to find the article in the Houston Press archives).
I think they're hiding.
"He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington."
And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints."
At first.
How to fake fingerprints

What is next DNA?
This idea will cause some felons on the run to flee, kill a cop or avoid going through Kansas.
Yeah, um hmm. Suuuuree they wont..
Just emailed the Kansas Cosmosphere. That's a space museum I've been wanting to visit this summer. Told them why I've changed my travel plans over this and why I'll never set foot in their Nazi state.
LOL. It's mutual, pal. There is no reason for me to go to Nebraska. LOL.
What's the matter, they still searching for Toto?
Uh huh. And firearms background check requests will be destroyed within 48 hours.
Oh, wait ...
Howdy boys
Here's two (mis)quotes, correct as you wish, both Clint Eastwood movies:
"I thought I'd died and gone to hell, but I was only in Nebraska." Little Bill, (Gene Hackman) `Unforgiven'
"You can find three things in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers and sons-of-bitches." Clint himself, `The Outlaw Josie Wales'
**Both fine states--red, purple--good football, good people**
Kansas...hmm...let me see...the last time I was in Kansas was....NEVER.
I see fingerprints being taken at the supermarket these days.
it is a statewide database of more than 10 million fingerprints taken from people arrested kidnapped by government revenue agents in Kansas.
There. Fixed it.
And the 8 X 10 glossy photographs with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one...
Officer: License and Registration, please. Oh, yes, and place your right index finger on this little pad.
Motorist: Why are you taking my fingerprints?
Officer: One moment sir. Just sit tight. I'll be back.
Officer: Mr. Smith, the reason I pulled you over today is that you have a spot of mud on your license plate. However, your fingerprints came back as belonging to a James R. Smith, who is 3 days late on a child support payment. Please step out of the vehicle and place your hands on the roof of the vehicle.
Motorist: But I mailed the check a week ago. I must protest this arrest.
Officer: Are you resisting arrest, sir? [tases driver, then drags him out of the car]
Officer: Incidentally, sir, your vehicle has been seized by the State of Kansas for non-payment of child support. It will be towed and auctioned. Please watch your head....and sit quietly.
Most of you disagree with this tactic, but I think it has value. Think of all the cold cases that could be solved and all the wanted scum walking around that can't reasonably be picked up otherwise.
