LOL, yeah, I really miss North Carolina. Seems everyone has somewhere else they'd rather be. *sigh* Such is life.
And why would any cop want to spend extra time grabbing a couple of fingerprints? Can't they check the LICENSE against a database of criminal records right there in the squad car? If it's a face license (one rationale for getting fingerprints), the lack of a DMV record will knock him out right there!
They'll be duly erased, after the weekly backups, of course.
Something like this would probably get a cooler reception on DU than FR, sad to say.
Sounds like this top-notch surveillance ought to be feasible on our southern border if it can be implimented in KS.
Freepmail me. I'll give you the address to which YOU are going to send the cleaning service to take care of my monitor. ROFL!!!!!
Boy, I long for the old days where they hauled your a$$ down to the precinct and took half a day to figure out who you were.
LOL. A craftsman is always gratified to hear his work praised.
But ... but ... the Holiday Inn could run your prints against the Holiday Inn Worldwide Fingerprint Database (linked to the Marriott AND Motel 6 databases, as you know) and find out that you once refused to pay the $23.50 for the macadamia nuts from the minibar and refuse to ever allow you back.
Aren't you even the slightest bit concerned about this?
Not bad for a state boasting a total population of about 2.2 million.
Perhaps that's 2.2 million Americans, and 7.8 illegals...
Not really - the fact that we require a license to drive, and the implication that there is a method for positive identification moots the whole point. If they try to implant something in me for the purpose of controlling me wherever I am, or insist on identification to buy food and other essentials, then I will become very worried and fight it with everything I have.
Yes, seems so doesn't it.
Agreed
Think about job applications -- one of the questions they always ask is, "Have you been arrested, fingerprinted, et al?" How do you answer if you've undergone this process?
I'd think this might fall under fourth amendment issues...
Keep licking that boot.
Well, they are both here now, and just as we predicted, they think it's a fabulous idea.
I agree. Assuming The Constitution means anything anymore. Even with a 'Conservative' in the White House it continues to be ripped to shreds.

Follow the money, traffic citations have become an ever larger piece of city and state budgets, I can see it now…
Officer: Chief, I need a raise.
Chief: You don’t bring in enough revenue to get a raise.
Officer: My evaluations are perfect scores, and Jones…
Chief: Jones brings in an average of $20,000 a month in citations.
Chief: You go out there and raise your average to $15,000 for three months, and I’ll see what I can do.
There’s an old adage in business, you get what you measure, so measure what you want to get.
No, I don’t think conversations like this take place, it’s more subtle than that (I hope anyway).
