Soundy 1 Posted April 27, 2012 Nope. Considering I've never heard of fingerprints being regarded as as "infallible", it sounds like it starts with a tinfoil-hat premise to begin with... thus, not worth my time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope the "justice" system in Canada doesnt utilize "tinfoil-hat" science. Otherwise you are in the same boat we are in. Matt, i urge you to watch the video.

Soundy 1 Posted April 27, 2012 Let me put it this way: I HAVE NEVER HEARD LAW ENFORCEMENT OR THE JUDICIARY CLAIM THAT FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION WAS INFALLIBLE. So when someone starts off making some "eye-opening documentary" by claiming that it is, and then sets out to debunk it... I'm sorry, but that's not worth the electrons it's made from. The only place law enforcement thinks fingerprints are 100% reliable is on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 187 Posted April 27, 2012 An extraordinary look into fingerprints and their supposed "infallibility". ended up with it not fingerprint infallibility but humen error. FBI sent a set of prints too 50 states 25% failed to identify them correctly thats a person error nothing to do with fingerprint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pal251 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Worked in law enforcement for over 10 years now. Love it when someone leaves their car and someone steals $5 in change out of it and they expect for us to find the criminal immediately. First words out of their mouths are...cant you find any fingerprints on it?? People don't realize how tough it is to leave a fingerprint on a lot of surfaces and especially on different types of car surfaces. I didn't watch the video.
