Re: finger printing out side
Unless one has been formally taken into police custody(arrested), no citizen is required to submit to fingerprinting, and, even if arrested, cannot be required to take a polygraph against the person's will.
Re: finger printing out side
(Exception as to fingerprinting): With a valid warrant, a properly authorized police officer would have the right to have the subject of such warrant who was not in police custody submit his or her fingerprints.
