Todays Digital Fingerprint Technology – Taking a Bite Out of Crime
Just as criminals around the country were hoping for relief and times to get a bit easier, new technologies are coming on line to only dash their hopes of better times. In fact, one of the most recent developments is digital fingerprinting technology that allows a suspects fingerprints to be taken and entered into a computer data bank in mere seconds.
If you were to walk into todays modern police facility, chances are that there won’t be a single ink pad fingerprint case anywhere in sight. What you will find, is a machine with a screen on it that allows a fingerprint to be viewed as soon as a suspects hand is laid on a smaller glass screen that scans it.
It’s made establishing a national fingerprint data bank all the more easier. This means that a person being booked for a crime in one part of the country can have their prints compared with those gathered around the entire country before their temporary holding period has expired.
This means that more and more serious felons are being nabbed that in earlier times would have walked away scott free, or at least had time to get a head start on the escape from justice. Another new area of law enforcement that is gaining ground is in the gathering and processing of DNA evidence.
Once again, it is the advent of computer and digital technology that is making it all possible. In fact, thanks to this new technology felons that were scheduled for release from prisons around the country are being re booked for crimes that they thought they had gotten away with years earlier. All this adds up to one thing and that is that todays new development in digital technology are not only making the world a better place to live but also so much safer as well.
