June 15, 201511 yr In thinking about the bank robber thread, I got to wondering how many people have been finger printed. I've had background checks for work and even had to for a college enrollment. If you submit prints for things like this, does "the man" keep those on file? I've never been arrested, so they do not have a set that way. If I ever did commit a crime, would they know it was me? (Hypothetical, don't judge)
June 15, 201511 yr I'm trying to remember if I was fingerprinted when kids were born? Seems like they fingerprinted infant and put my fingerprint next to it?
June 15, 201511 yr Had to get fingerprinted for being a volunteer coach for two different school districts.
June 15, 201511 yr Been finger printed for various reasons. Did it first in elementary school when I participated in an after school event where you learned about police work (finger printing included). - Side note, I was the guinea pig for the cop showing the class how people get handcuffed but it made for a longer day when his key broke and wouldn't open the cuffs back up... My prints are on file with the man from when I joined the Army.
June 15, 201511 yr I have for work, pretty sure it goes into some federal database. Edited June 15, 201511 yr by HammerTime
June 15, 201511 yr I was in elementary school. Got busted for a graham cracker smuggling ring. Did some hard nap time, learned from my mistakes and got certified in VCR and TV repair, along with getting pretty good at LEGO building. They actually came in a did a police outreach program where they explained police work, that they were always going to help and every thing like that. One of the kids in my class, his dad was a cop. So he brought in the stuff for prints, but I really don't think it went anywhere other than the trash at the end of the day. I could be wrong, but I don't remember putting my name on it or anything like that. I don't really have a problem with fingerprint databases, doesn't seem like too big of an issue to me.
June 15, 201511 yr I've definitely been printed for a job. For some reason, I think I was printed when I got my student ID at UofL.
June 15, 201511 yr I had to be finger printed a couple of times because the stores that I ran sold firearms...I'm sure the ATF still have them if I ever get out of line, they can track me down.
June 15, 201511 yr With as many projects as I've done for various city/state/federal entities, I'd put the number of times that I've been finger printed around 7 or 8 times.
June 15, 201511 yr I seem to recall being fingerprinted when I worked those two seasons part-time for the IRS way back when.
June 15, 201511 yr Yes. Working for two different airlines. FAA controlled. 20 year background check.
