Next thing I know, I was being sued for pain & suffering, damages, etc.
Thank god I was deployed oversees at the time, and could prove it.
I got no problem with this.
Comparing your situation to roadside stops for prints is quite a S T R E T C H.....
Oh well. I rest assured you will never get entangled in this crap at the other end. "patton"......yeah, I'm pretty sure he would agree with this BS.

Fingerprinting of traffic violators who have no other form of identification does not seem unreasonable.
In fact, fingerprinting might be reasonable if the government could be entrusted to place the fingerprint immediately into a tamper-resistant numbered sealed envelope, which would be returned unopened to the offender when he appeared in court and/or paid the fine, unless the offender wished to argue that he was not the person represented by the fingerprint in which case the police would then be free to try to identify who the print actually did belong to.
