Mostly. %\ Pink slips all around, cuz those things don’t register false positives. They will register false negatives at the worst.
From another article yesterday........

While in booking, Sauceda was fingerprinted. His prints were supposed to be checked against those on file, Tafolla said, but they came out smudged, so a sergeant ordered a detention officer to check his fingerprints using LiveScan, the jail’s electronic fingerprint system.
“So he takes him over, scans his fingerprint, looks at the picture, looks at him, and says, ‘It’s him,’ but doesn’t look at the name.”
That’s what I mean.
It’s highly unlikely for a machine to falsely match against another stored record, but more likely to claim a mis-match/no-match.
But, The officer didn’t perform the complete check (matching the name) and the guy walks free.
This is what happens when a job is performed hundreds of times with no random oversight.
