If you're ticketed by Green Bay police, you'll get more than a fine. You'll get fingerprinted, too. It's a new way police are cracking down on crime.

If you're caught speeding or playing your music too loud, or other crimes for which you might receive a citation, Green Bay police officers will ask for your drivers license and your finger. You'll be fingerprinted right there on the spot. The fingerprint appears right next to the amount of the fine.

Well that's dumb. Pretty darn intrusive. Amazing to me how some of this stuff gets implemented. You just expect someone in the room to say "wait a minute . . . ."

So when the Police stop a car for speeding, they cant ask people (Illegals) if they are here illegally...........

But when they stop a car for speeding, they can fingerprint us ?

that is messed up

I don't like the idea...but it doesn't really effect me....they already have my prints. $:-\$

That's one of the flimsiest excuses I've ever seen in a long time.

To ensure the person's identity because of identity theft?

Hello, doesn't the license, and insurance kind of rule out that possibility?

Then too, what about traffic court, does the cop not show up for traffic court?

Do they not have a photo on the driver's license? Or are they saying that people can steal both your identity AND your vehicle, without it being reported somewhere along the timeline?

Or is that they're afraid that in order to get out of a $20 ticket, people will en masse start reporting their vehicles and their id stolen the day after they've been pulled over in a traffic stop? What is the rationale here?

What's the penalty for refusing to be fingerprinted?

I am guessing you would go to jail right then for not complying with the officer. I only say that because awhile back someone posted the video of a dude being tased for resisting arrest after he refused to sign a speeding ticket. Bench and KH300 are police officers and at least one of em said that when you are stopped for speeding or what have you you, are basically under arrest at that point, and the citation is just an agreement to either pay the fine or appear in court. By not cooperating they have the right to go ahead and take you in for whatever offense you were stopped for,thus making you bond out rather than being given a citation.If I am mistaken someone correct me but that was my understanding.

Yep that's what they said, ...AND that the officer had the right to tase you too.

you are correct,the citation is not a plea of guilt just a agreement that you received a citation.but if you refuse to sign the citation,you are under arrest (class c misdemeanor in Texas).

also in Texas i can arrest you for anything except speeding and open container.so if you stickers are expired,if you don't have insurance,if you run a redlight i can take you to jail.

and i dont carry a taser,taser's are for pussy's.

I hear ya, it seems weird to me that Green Bay of all places would do this. Do they really have that much of a prob? I think Chicago or NYC would be the ones to do something like this.

Well, anyways that's good news that your department wouldn't do that. Hopefully some elected official doesn't make you do it.
