Don't know why Police don't finger print .. Boy had no gloves on that I could see.
they rarely do. The kid likely had never been fingerprinted. When my home got robbed, and the guns stolen they didn't finger print the glass gun case.
When we got home from work the next day, they had been back. I insisted they finger print. Nothing ever came from it. Some departments have the ability to do a computer search, some don't. Manual finger print searches are much too expensive, and the results are rare.
