What? Did you ever find out what the fingerprints were used for?
This is like taking a DNA sample from child when they're born nowadays, it seems harmless now, but we can already see companies using this kind of data maliciously.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoIn the US it was very common. My kids did it at school in the 90s. The point was that if your child goes missing, you have their fingerprints available so they can be used in investigations. In our case, the fingerprints were given to us to take home in case they were ever needed. At the time I didn't think to ask if the police kept a record for themselves, but I doubt it (just because local PD wasn't very organized).

- giancarlostoro 4y agoI went to school in the 2000's when I moved to Florida, and I don't remember this, maybe I was too old, I went to school in Puerto Rico prior to this.
