FEAR NOT THINE IMAGE
Imagine you
are a very successful dedicated detective and you wake up with the image and
fingerprints of the serial killer you are chasing? In this day of DNA
testing that doesn’t seem very likely, but what if you had already been
positively identified by your fingerprints on record and photo on file? Could you convince
the authorities to go through the added exercise and expense of testing DNA
to prove who you are after the identification is already positive?
With all the
emphasis on DNA testing in the criminal justice programs you’d think
fingerprints are no longer relevant, but the fact is photographs, fingerprints and dental
records continue to be a big part of personal identification. Finger prints have been
collected and filed for years with the FBI and Homeland Security files providing a worldwide database for criminal justice systems to use making them still the single most used method of positively identifying crime
suspects. If your fingerprints are at the crime scene, on the murder weapon, a
witness positively identifies you at the scene of the crime and you do not have
a solid alibi for the time of the crime, good luck in convincing the jury you
are not guilty.
Further imagine you
are the spitting image of a serial killer and are on the LAPD most
wanted list, are captured, fingerprinted and everything matches the killer
they are chasing? There is no doubt that you will be arrested and tried for the crimes.
