Have you ever been fingerprinted?

[flyboy84]

elementary school when we visited a police station, and, more recently, for my security clearance

 

[datalink7]

About 3 times. All in relation to US Army (for instance, getting my Secret Security Clearance).

Numerous times for employment reasons.

 

[theknight571]

At least 3 times... At least once as a kid, and then twice for post college jobs.

 

[slsmnaz]

Twice, both for stupid reasons.

 

[CKent]

I had a fscked up childhood 😱

 

[Doggiedog]

Yes. To be NASD licensed we have to be.

 

[adairusmc]

Several times. Twice in the military. Once when I got my concealed handgun permit. I have also had my thumb prints taken 14 times this year - once for every gun I have bought so far this year.

 

[Kalvin00]

Yep...work at a bank now so the FBI wants the story on me. 😀

 

[habib89]

once as a kid to show us kids how to do it... then a couple times for jobs

 

[moshquerade]

[savvy]

No.

 

[potato28]

Nope.

Yes, because my elementary school was devious. Kids at that age are eager to be fingerprinted. So we all rushed up to get it done. Now, of course, they have the prints.

That brings up a question though, are prints from kids still useful in law enforcement now that we are adults? Or was it only useful to law enforcement while we were still young? That is, do prints change substantially through puberty?

Same here, and I would like to know as well.

same here... when I was in 5th grade, we had a cop come to the school to talk to us about drugs, and just say no, and all that, and after the talk, the cop was like "ok, now let's take your fingerprints!" I just kinda went along with it because everyone else was.

add another tick to the board. do they really keep these? i mean, it was like 2nd grade maybe as a "fun" thing to do with a cop. that is some bullshit if i've ever seen any.

 

[Compton]

never, hopefully it stays that way too

 

[Scouzer]

required for my security clearance.

 

[Orsorum]

Yes, for a concealed weapons permit.

 

[sdifox]

Lol, I just got a Qosmio G30 and it comes with a fingerprint reader... I guess I am getting fingerprinted everyday

 

[Howard]

As a child, but I'm not sure if they were kept.

 

[imported_michaelpatrick33]

military enlistment and volunteering at an after school children's program. They check to ensure no record of abuse.

 

[Nebor]

Concealed handgun licensing gets your fingerprints, which I think is ridiculous.

 

[schneiderguy]

full fingerprints in elementary school, thumbprint for drivers permit.

 

[ballmode]

AS A BABY

 

[AndrewR]

Once for applying for the bar.
Three times for immigration application (for two international adoptions).
At least once for the military, security clearance investigation.

5-6 times?

[edit] Forgot about the elementary school thing, and it was twice for the military. So, 7 times right now. Probably moving into another government agency next year so that'll likely add another. At this point, who DOESN'T have my prints and Social Security number? 😉

 

[blackdogdeek]

yes for background check for work.

two different jobs.
