Re: finger prints and processing after the hearing

I respectfully disagree with Mr. Hendrickson. Never voluntarily agree to visit a police station or to be photographed or questioned. They could be trying to bring new charges against you. Say nothing to them. If they want your photos or prints bad enough, they will arrest you. Make them.
