Fingerprints

[Grahameeboy]

please wake me up when all this paranoia ends

[Biff]

don't be fooled, do you really think that the devices they use to collect prints can't be hooked up to a computer later to download all prints back at the station.I thought the idea of a photo on a license was for this purpose, the civil liberties of all nz'ers is being abused. people also have prints on file to eliminate them from crime scenes e.t.c. it's not just crims.

Do you honestly believe that there's some secret policy to log and record the prints of innocent members of the public in NZ?

If so - you're the one being fooled mate, reading too many conspiracy theory books and believing their all true. Another bout of KB paranoia me thinks.

There's some very paranoid people around here.

One thumb print alone is not much use for anything other than confirming the identity of a person whose prints are already held.

It appears from the contents of this thread that there are many equally foolish people about.

That's not an ID card. It doesn't have your fingerprints on it. You don't have to have it with you at all times (only when driving). Driving is not a civil liberty or human right, it's a privilege. There's a distinction.

Wouldn't they have the ability to read your iris from the photos taken? the picture of you on your licence is a thumbnail but im sure the picture stored is a larger size. Isnt a persons iris another form of unique identity like finger prints? I see a drivers licence as a stage 1 ID card. You gotta start somewhere right, and have a reason for people to comply and accept it.

Shit!!!!!! Call Greenpeace, they'll know what to do.

Aha!
That is trotted out by conservative law abiding "citizens" every time basic human rights are removed.

Exactly! An example of the logic that gave Germany a Nazi Party Government.
(That and some other umm irregularities...)

Yeah, maybe I misunderstand what you are saying or have interpreted it wrong... I took it as you saying if your prints are not on record, you may be taken to the station for further checks to be made...

Your prints not on record from previous busts or from being located at a crime scene is a good thing, and you will not be "bothered" any longer... was my point in reply.

Nah... headcold at midnight...

This was a response to other threads where it is claimed Police "make up bullshit" just to take licences off innocent motorists....not necessarily your call, but one I took as heading that way...
