Whether or not a police agency processes evidence from a crime for latent prints depends mainly on agency resources balanced with management's priorities. At the FAQs here, click on the question "Why didn't the police dust my house (or car) for prints when I reported that thieves broke in?" for additional information.   Michele (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: c-67-170-33-116.hsd1.wa.comcast.net Posted on Wednesday, December 27, 2006 - 05:22 pm:        B&E????   Emily (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: 165.176.123.2 Posted on Wednesday, December 27, 2006 - 11:38 am:        At our lab we do process prints from B&E cases, larceny...depends what you mean by 'serious', but a violent felony is not required.   Ronnie Jamestown (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: 69.146.228.170 Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 12:02 am:        what kind of crimes would constitute the use of fingerprinting? does it need to be a serious crime? or would a lesser crime even be examined?
