Drivers who get stopped by the police could have their fingerprints taken at the roadside, under a new plan to help officers check people's identities. A hand-held device being tested by 10 forces in England and Wales is linked to a database of 6.5m prints.
Police say they will save time because people will no longer have to go to the station to prove their identity.
Officers promise prints will not be kept on file but concerns have been raised about civil liberties......

One more thing I forgot to mention - In the digital world, nothing is 'ever' gone. I cannot beleive that these guys that take your fingerprints would ever think about deleting them. It just wouldn't happen.
