This new "finger-printing" technology is a bad idea, said cops in the 1800s. Few people are trained on how to accurately take and match "fingerprints", so mistakes will be plenty, and innocent people will go to jail because if it. Everyone but the cops think it is a bad idea, so we should never use fingerprints to solve crimes.
