I need a little help here....

A couple of weeks ago I was walking down the street with a beer and got picked up for minor alcohol possession. I was obediant to the police officer and released. I had a court day a few days later where i pleaded guilty and had to pay the minimum fee.

I thought I was all done, but then today I got a letter in the mail saying that I had to go in for fingerprints. How can this be so?

I have no criminal record. I have 1 speeding ticket from well over a year ago and that is it.

I live in Iowa.

I found the code for Iowa on this at:

Or its iowa code 690.2 i believe.

Thanks for the help
