Re: Rights for Fingerprinting
No. You don't have to submit to fingerprinting against your will. But, be aware, the cops will likely come up with some excuse to arrest you, and book you, and that means they'll fingerprint you when booking you. I've found police don't usually have a problem bending the law to accomplish their ends.
