City Considers Fingerprint Scanners In Police Cruisers

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he city of Winter Park is considering putting 56 portable digital fingerprint scanners into patrol cars.

The scanners would eliminate identity confusion by offering a complete record on the spot.

Police said a person's fingerprint would also virtually eliminate the possibility that officers would arrest the wrong person.

I had to do a finger print scan to get my food stamps/medical, I'd be pretty surprised to see if they could ID me by fingerprint alone, I think though it's just to keep the same person from applying more than once for the 'stamps.
