WRAL, Raleigh's news outlet, did a live spot announced tonight the nice LEs have been/are using portable fingerprinting units during traffic stops since November ~ 500 times resulting in 168 arrests from the traffic stop.
SPolice coordinator for the project stated it was imperative consent to the nice LE's request to field administered fingerprinting; while the ACLU stated citizens could refuse; cutting back to the SP coordinator who publicly state in the continuation of his initial statement said, citizens could refuse but would be arrested on the spot for refusal to provide identification to a LE.
units immediately check both State & Federal databases.
The SPolice coordinator concluded his statement by saying this was necessary for 'officer safety'!
WRAL presenter stated the nice LEs also use the units to identify dead and OH...citizen's prints would not be kept in any type of database!!!
anybody have background on what i personally believe is a transgression to my civil rights?
added: i apologize but searched WRAL's site immediately after i heard their commentary
and am unable to find anything on he subject.
