Do you have to be fingerprinted?

Question

If you have an arrest record do you have to be fingerprinted again if you are arrested for another crime?

Answer 1

     i think we should all be finger printed and bar coded its not enough that when i use my cell phone and every key stroke is recorded and all the sites i visit as well as my shopping habits and to see if im the right sucker for a credit card did you see that movie were they take a gun and shoot it in your leg with a chip or how about the one with the chip in the nose yep we should always have to use our names and tell who we are everytime we do anything because all our actions should be judged i think all our privacys should be eroded as well as someone should lie to us and say we have no rights  

Answer 2

Only if you are charged with a felony !

Answer 3

Yes you do...

Answer 4

If they already took your fingerprint for this newest crime, then they can use the computer to add it into your records through your DNA number, or what ever.

Answer 5

YES, you may asked. The simplest reason is that the police has no connection with the arrest or record previously of the person involved, he is charge with a new crime so therefore the usual fingerprinting and photo session is still in place. No matter how many times a person is arrested, he will under go the same procedure AGAIN & AGAIN even if it kills him.

Let us assume he was convicted of rape 10 years ago and got out, and was caught again with the same offense, he is again fingerprinted and photograph, and sent the information to the main computer branch to determined if the person is connected to some crimes, all his records will appear together the previous one. So if they haven't fingerprinted or photograph the guy HOW IN THE WORLD WILL THEY KNOW he is already sentence for rape in another State? Unless a new fingerprint and photo from the guy is release. The guy wouldn't tell you that he is a rapist WOULD HE? That he is a MURDERER, a child molester...etc  

Answer 6

Yes, it's standard procedure.
