Using a new wireless device, police across the country are now able to quickly and accurately identify a suspect in the field; using RapID, a small handheld unit, officers can read a suspect's fingerprint and check it against a database for any matches; if any matches are found the device will pull up the person's real name, date of birth, gender, and race, making it more difficult for criminals to use a false identity

Hi tzia62

Wow, this is a great device!!

Yes it is. It is the end of a criminal using a fake ID.

Hi Par4

LOL-LOL BIG TIME........................The criminal goes to prison, in a few years he or she gets out of prison. He or she robs a bank and gets caught, the police can not take his or her fingerprints what do the police do, take toe prints?
