Instant real time fingerprint identification at a location by police. Obviously, it had to come to this. But we are protected. They will smoke but not inhale. They will look but not do anything or retain anything if there is no problem. What is there to hide? We are her to protect you. Err....ah...Up against the wall!
Stop and fingerprint: Soft(ware) core "Stop and frisk" ? Fingerprint scanner use raises privacy concerns in N.C.
Raleigh, NC. The new "If it plays in Peoria...."
If it plays in Peoria, take it to Broadway.
Real time, on the spot absolute personal identification. That is the "Last Mile" of the vast Security network. The final real time biometric connection of all the immense security system resource to an individual. Fingerprint, real time video facial recognition, etc. the "Last Mile" has increasingly growing implementations.
Police are scanning license plates in real time. Stop if a link to probable cause is alerted. Fingerprint driver, passengers as well. Probable cause established by Rules of Engagement that allow it if there is at least 50% probability that possible driver is wanted for something. Probability is a variable data element depending on multiple factors in a software algorithm admissible in court as sufficient grounds.
This is the same model as my digital dollar. The model goes down to apply at the lowest uniquely granular level: One unique instance of a person, one unique instance of a digital dollar with a denominated value of one. Establishing my proposed monetary system is the "Last Mile" of Money. The "Last Mile" in this case being the "Last Mile" technology can take money but the established system must refuse to go because the established system would be replaced.
Funny how objective technology is subjectively ans selectively applied.
We are stakeholders in this fingerprint ID system. Stakeholders far removed from any user voice or influence on system design and application. Is this a "Fingerprint Extraction" system and another case of "Extraction Without Representation"? The NSA is doing it, why not Raleigh? or Peoria? That is kind of like saying if it plays on Broadway it will play in Peoria......whether they like it in Peoria or not. Nobody asked Peoria. Just asked to extract their fingerprints there.
Extracting fingerprints is extracting the abstract logical thing from the physical thing. That is what the information age is all about and doing it quicker and better.
The "Almost Last Mile" is the license plate on a car or the cell phone in your pocket that reduces distance down to a matter of feet.
Fingerprint is the "Last Foot". Kindofa joke there.
Hands Up? That is so old school. Just put your finger on this touch pad that looks like a cell phone... Please!!!

The Rapid Identification COPS Technology is appears to be a government grant here.
A local story about the grant money and hardware/software package is here
"The device does not store a person's fingerprints indefinitely.
"Once
it does the search, that's it," Pennica said. "The prints are not kept
in the system. You can [save them to the database], but we are not going
to do that."
Cops Technology is a government grant of funds to purchase equipment. Google searches do not disclose who provides the software/hardware system or what company might be connected to the grant as a provider. The COPS office of the Dept. of Justice is here
LiveScan is a government fingerprint standard for vendors to comply with in offering their products. There are many vendors in this sector
Some info on devices here. Note that several have bluetooth connectivity to devices that may also the communicate by cellular, wifi, or other long haul device.
What if the iPhone 5 might satisfy the FBI LiveScan specification? I can find no evidence that it does or that Apple is seeking compliance with the spec. If it was a certified LiveScan fingerprint device it would have a huge leg up on any competition.
