Unless you are under arrest or the police have some other lawful process by which they can demand your prints (such as a court order) they cannot generally force you to give your prints up.im in waukesha wisconsin, and i want to know if a cop can just take your fingerprints because of suspicion.
were you arrested?im 18, dont have a license. A guy's tires got slashed and of course im a suspect because he owes me money. The horrible part is i know my prints are on his car because i worked on his car no longer than a week ago. I personally think he set me up. Why they would take prints off of his car i dont know
Thats why i want to know if they can legally make me give them my prints. Apparently they aren't on file.
only if there is a court order requiring you to do so.I have not been arrested for it. They want me to come in and give them my prints or come to my house and take them, either way i havent been arrested....could i get arrested for not cooperating/giving up my prints?
Decline their request ....I have not been arrested for it. They want me to come in and give them my prints or come to my house and take them, either way i havent been arrested....could i get arrested for not cooperating/giving up my prints?
Now that's service !!They want me to come in and give them my prints or come to my house and take them...
How is that any different than stopping you on the street and running your name for wants/warrants?I don't believe they can just spot you on the street and say, "Hey you with the hand, I want to take your fingerprints to see if you're wanted for any crime"..
