and my fingerprints are in there as well, for past employment.
prints for those not charged, or found innocent, are supposed to be expunged from the fingerprint database. i am not sure when they match prints-if it's at arrest, or after conviction. it's never been run thru the scotus either.

I suspect like IAFIS when they run a DNA profile thru the system it's cross checked against everything.
Would it have been OK to take his DNA sample, put it in the data base and then re-run the DNA taken from the rape against those on file? Chicken and egg sort of argument. When I consider all the crimes, just in Chicago, where DNA evidence was obtained being able to be matched against future arrestees I have great hope a lot of criminals involved in a lot of crimes will no longer be looking for prey. At least not outside of prison. Now if Illinois could put convicted murderers/rapists away for anywhere near what their sentences dictate we could see progress.
