Part 1

Using the available references, find a court case where automated fingerprint identification was used and write a 100-word summary of the contents. You may use an internet search but make sure that only a reliable source is used.

Note: Make sure that your court case is AFIS related. Do not use statistical summaries or incident summaries. A court case is necessary.

Part 2

Briefly explain the purposes and limitations of computerized fingerprint search systems.

Post your summary in the Webliography Tab (located next to the Help tab) by the end of this unit.
