You have had a couple of experiences with fingerprinting, what do you think? Do you agree that fingerprints are a good identifier of someone? Was it easy to leave fingerprints on objects? Was it easy to locate and lift fingerpirnts? What did this unit demonstrate/teach you about evidence collection?
I think fingerprinting is a messy and hard process that gives a great amount of information on who a person is. The fingerprinting process is hard because you can’t see fingerprints with the naked eye so you have to look everywhere for them.
It is very easy to leave a fingerprint on an object you just have to touch it and your fingerprint is on it until something or someone cleans it off. It was easy to locate the fingerprints with the duster because the became black with the powder. The lifting process is very easy.
I learned that you have to look everywhere and I mean everywhere to make sure you don’t miss something that could bring someone to justice for a crime.
