Current Events > Are your fingerprints on file?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes. Required for my job.

Not sure. I've never had to give them as a suspect; I did have to once as a "negative match" (ie: a situation where my fingerprints were expected to be on something they were investigating, so they needed mine to know which ones to ignore) and while officially they were deleted afterwards, who knows if that really happened.

I don't really care that much tho. Only illegal thing I do these days is cannabis, and I'm much more likely to get spotted using it than caught from my fingerprints being on something. If the cops even give a shit in the first place, which around here they pretty openly don't care as long as you don't do it in front of them.

yea.

I was a dumbass, as a kid, and fascinated by laminated cards, like IDs, library cards, etc.

so, I joined my school's DARE program, lol, and they put my fingerprints on file.

def. had a drug felony charge that wasn't convicted when i was younger lol

Yes. I work for the government, and it was a requirement that I get fingerprinted.

Yes, the US government and the Chinese government have them. Thanks, OPM.

The DMV has my thumb print

Yeah.

Did some dumb stuff as a kid.

This. Part of my residency agreement too.

I'm pretty sure they tricked everyone into doing so during any time during their child/teen hood. If not, these peoples parents went out of their way to avoid it.

Yes, when I went into the Army.

Yes. Joined the U.S. Navy and went into the Nuclear Power program. Got my prints and did a full background check for security clearance. Not sure if the police has access to that information database or not but the military has my prints.

Yup.

Yes and my distinguishing marks and tattoos are on file also

Yeah
If they dont have it from my lost child ID card when I was a child, they got em in 2006.

Yeah, for my last three jobs.

Never been arrested or had to do it for work. Only thing that comes to mind is like first or second grade there was a class trip to some police station and I vaguely remember them doing finger prints and it being cool. Boy that'd be fucked if that was kept on file.

I had to do it for my state license to work in the marijuana industry.

I have faint memories of being lined up in the elementary school auditorium. When we got to a woman at a desk, she grabbed each finger one by one and rolled it on an ink pad then on a piece of paper. I didn't know what was going on or if that's in any type of file, but it's weird to think about now.

Nah. No memory of ever having to do that.

I had to get fingerprinted since I work at the airport. I also got fingerprinted when I applied for TSA Precheck and Global Entry.

I recall having to do that too way back then. The only other thing I can recall was giving a thumb print for something or other years ago.

Two types of people do:

• Criminals
• People with decent jobs.

I have to in order to get an ID.

Banks have it to set up an account.

China has it since you have to in order to enter the country.

Yeah, and my blood. They took all that during medical processing when I first got to basic training for the army.

Yeah I had to get a fingerprint clearance card when I worked for the state as a social worker.
