Automated Fingerprints Identification System
Fingerprints.
Nearly all fingerprints are forwarded to the FBI for classification and identification. This is usually done the same day they are taken.
i think it depends on how bad the crime you committed was
No person has the same fingerprints they are a unique form of identification, so if a fingerprint can be matched with a print found at the scene of a crime the owner of the print must have be at or at least touched something found at the scene.
Fingerprints can be taken in many ways. One includes stamping. Dab you fingers in ink and place them on paper without smudging them. another way is more advanced. If you fingerprints have been left on a surface, you can lift them using liquefied super glue. You put the object with the prints on it in a special box with the Superglue The machine makes most of the super glue evaporate, but some sticks to the prints... Thus, they have you fingerprints.
Fingerprints can be lifted from paper using methods such as dusting with fingerprint powder, applying adhesive tape, or using sticky gel lifters. The paper surface is treated carefully to avoid smudging or damaging the fingerprints, and the lifted print can then be analyzed or used as evidence in investigations.
Usually fingerprints are taken but in the future we may have retina scanners.
Many units carry portable fingerprinting devices that are linked to the Police National Computer (PNC), these are used to obtain suspect's fingerprints to confirm their identity. When a person has been arrested, fingerprints are taken the old fashioned way using ink and paper.
