Portable Fingerprinting

In San Bernardino, USA; cops are trialling a new tech crime-fighting weapon. It’s a portable fingerprint scanner that connects police on the beat with a massive fingerprint data base and allows them to check a suspects real identity without having to drag him or her back to the police station. The officer scans each thumb print, takes a digital photo and, in just three minutes, he is armed with a summarised criminal history, record of any arrest warrants and a mug shot.
