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


I think the finger printing went okay. It appears the officer checked everything as he was supposed to do but failed to read the name on the data that came up thus when he matched the image to the person standing in front of him they matched. Had he noticed the name on the data that came up wasn’t the same as the name of the person being released a red flag would or should have gone up. This isn’t an excuse but it appears he would have been caught if the officer was crossing every t and dotting each i along the way.

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.
