So....why would the FBI have taken prints from that syringe ? (first time i hear of their involvement regarding june 25)
Quote from: "MJhunny" So....why would the FBI have taken prints from that syringe ? (first time i hear of their involvement regarding june 25)I dont understand why people keep asking this. Who else would analyse the prints? Who else has the USA fingerprint database to compare the results with? The FBI is the government agency with the skills and the data to do this.Who else do you think would be able to perform this task? Seriously... im asking the question as to who else do you think has this capability? Im confused as to why people are surprised that the FBI are the ones who analyse and store fingerprints in the USA.
Well tbh i was thinking the LAPD would have taken the prints and that any police department in the USA has access to the print database so they can run comparisson prints themselves when nescesary. like i said i'm understanding here that the FBI was brought in early on and has those prints, and not the LAPD. Which to me would be strange because i was'nt aware that the FBI was involved in taking prints from a scene that was'nt even considered a homicide till two months later.
The defense wants a first generation fingerprint to determine who was handling it.The defense is asking that the FBI deliver the first generation fingerprint.
If this is so important, why the defense did not ask for this test in the syringe 20 months ago?
Okay, I knew all this, but I'm still wondering what is the difference in the FIRST generation fingerprinting and SECOND generation fingerprinting?

As technology advances digital fingerprints are being used as one of the security measures. BiometricsBiometrics is a high tech word for an old concept: how they go about recognizing one another. Biometric authentication uses automated methods based on physical characteristics or behavioral traits for human recognition. Examples of biometrics include iris and retina scanning, digitized fingerprints, hand geometry and speaker recognition. Biometric authentication offers advantages over current security practices. Unlike keys and tokens, biometrics is never lost or stolen. Unlike passwords and PINs, biometrics cannot be forgotten. Because of their security, speed, efficiency and convenience, biometric authentication systems might soon become the standard for access control.You are not allowed to view links.

At this time, it seems that this is technology is continuously developing. At the moment this "second generation fingerprinting" etc. has to do with the readers being used by companies and not necessarily the actual fingerprinting technique itself.Biometric TechnologyNewer biometric technology helps overcome some of these problems. For example, first-generation equipment relied on CCD cameras, and illuminating fingerprints with laser light. Unfortunately, this technology was prone to spoofing, especially since an image of the fingerprint was left on the scanner. Second-generation capacitive devices improved accuracy and were more difficult to spoof, but they sometimes suffered errors from static discharge. (Dealing with such errors falls to the biometric management software.) The very latest, third-generation fingerprint scanning technology is based on a radio-frequency capturing technique, which "allows the sensor to reconstruct the image of the structure of the skin layers underneath the skin surface," says Cohen, with much-improved accuracy.
