unless they have the technology to immediately access AFIS at the traffic stop,then this is useless and a waste of our taxpayers money.

I didn't know which way to go with this at first. On one hand, it probably would reduce the amount of people running from the law or help identify a person of interest in another situation but it also takes away just a bit more of our personal liberties. All I hear is this isn't Russia...yet. We're supposed to be in America, innocent until proven guilty. But if these lawmakers keep heading the way they appear to be, its gonna be the other way around. I'll bet that, someday, we will have to give our fingerprints before they give us our drivers licences, social security numbers will be tatooed at birth, and tracking devices will be shoved up our, uhh, down our throats.

Just think about it:
The technological system is linked throughout the country with law enforcement, fingerprinting would enter information into a US database, the information created is not removeable by the citizen and remains a viable print in a criminal system for life.

laws like this move us closer to being a police state not a free country. remember these people come election time and throw the bums out.

It might get some people off the streets that have been on the run for years but staying under the radar with false identification. I would welcome the change. I feel like it would just make my children that much safer in this sick and twisted world.

NOOOOOO! They already have access to your drivers license,registration and proof of insurance, how much more do they need. Anyone can say
what they like about the red light cameras, but at least it is impersonal, and I actually prefer that. It's someone in another state
writing your ticket, not someone you might have contact with in a
social situation.

They can use my MIDDLE FINGER for their lousy print. This is a vulgar abuse of power.

You would think that our Legislators would work to help the citizens of this great state instead of sitting up there wasting their time on this junk. I need to know everyones name who votes for this so I will know who is earning their pay and who is not.

What would be next? Numbers tatooed on our arms? What we need is a system that doesn't make victims out of criminals and makes the punishment fit the crime. No more plea bargains and time off for mowing some politicians yard. That would help the police. Unfortunately,we have too many people who want to worry about the rights of criminals. Compassion is a good thing but even that needs some kind of limit.

Since when is a traffic offense a major crime that you should have your fingerprint taken by, more than likley, a rookie police officer that is looking to make an arrest for any reason. I would hate the fact that if my elderly mother was pulled over that she would be harassed in this way.
