Finger Print Analysis
Is Finger Print Analysis accurate in finding the correct person who commented the crime
or is it possible that there can be more than 1 person with a similar print? Will new technology
help find the correct person within minutes and have an accurate match? Does miss handling
evidence play a huge part in the investigations and ruin traces of DNA for law enforcement?
The Canadians have invented a new technology that could harvest enough DNA to
produce genetic identity within 15 minutes. They claimed they can use old evidence that was
stored from a year ago to find an accurate match. Researchers believe this will help cut the cost
down and less time to do research. According to a researcher scientist Maria Viaznikova of the
Ottawa University Heart Institute in Canada told United Press International. "If you wanted to
use blood as a source of DNA, you have fear of contamination, people who don't want to give it,
storage issues, and you have to sign a lot of paperwork to get it,. We can now have DNA reliably
and simply with our method" (Choi, Charles). We will see once this is launch and more testing to
see if this is an accurate path to have a DNA match.
Researchers says there are no identical match on fingerprints. This article can prove this
theory wrong.

due to lack of education which was not required. Will the new technology is the way of the
future in trusting accurate results. Time will tell.
