Does anyone know where the sticky side tape fingerprint processing method originated and when? | ||

If the partial print contains a sufficient amount of friction ridge detail for a comparison, using either AFIS or IAFIS, then it would be as accurate as it would be if powder was used on a piece of glass or the metal of a car. Or if cyanoacrylate ester fuming was used on a piece of plastic. The sticky side of tape allows for very clear latent impressions. This is due to the glue of the tape; first, it does not allow for smudging or smearing. Second, it does not capture the sweat, but instead captures the dead skin cells that align the tops of the friction ridges on the palmer and plantar areas of the body. Test this by putting a piece of clear tape on the palmer side of a finger, then removing it. Hold it up to the light; you will be able to see your own fingerprint captured on it. | ||

how accurate would a comparison be of parcial latent prints from the sticky side of duct tape be when compared through I.A.F.I.S. |
