Your question matches mine -- what happens if you refuse? I was always lead to believe that they only fingerprinted you when you were actually under arrest.

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...

"I'd think this might fall under fourth amendment issues..."

I agree. Assuming The Constitution means anything anymore. Even with a 'Conservative' in the White House it continues to be ripped to shreds.
