iafy? … because we know who is for whom, but what else is spinning out there in space? 😘

so this is in fact i am for you but it's a question mark because I'm not sure how to put what I've got into chapters and a conclusion so it is entirely a mish-mash of stuff

SOMEDAY I WILL FIGURE IT OUT AND POST IT

until then have some Raphael?

Why Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Checks are So Accurate

Fingerprint-based criminal history checks have long been considered a gold standard in the field of law enforcement and background verification. This method’s reliability and accuracy stem from the unique biological properties of fingerprints and the advanced technological systems used to analyze them. Here, we explore the key factors that contribute to the accuracy of fingerprint-based criminal history checks.

Uniqueness of Fingerprints One of the most compelling reasons for the accuracy of fingerprint-based checks is the inherent uniqueness of fingerprints. No two individuals, even identical twins, have the same fingerprints. Each fingerprint is characterized by distinct patterns of ridges, loops, and whorls that remain consistent throughout a person’s life. This biological uniqueness ensures that the fingerprint data collected from an individual can be reliably matched to their criminal record without confusion.

Permanence Over Time

Fingerprints are not only unique but also permanent. The patterns formed by the ridges on our fingertips are established in the womb and do not change over time, barring significant injury or scarring. This permanence allows for a consistent basis for identification over the course of an individual’s lifetime, providing a reliable anchor for historical criminal records.

Advanced Fingerprint Analysis Technology

Modern advancements in technology have significantly enhanced the accuracy of fingerprint-based criminal history checks. Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) are sophisticated databases used by law enforcement agencies to store and compare fingerprint data. These systems employ complex algorithms to match fingerprints against a vast repository of records quickly and accurately. AFIS technology can analyze minutiae points—the specific points of interest in a fingerprint pattern—ensuring precise matches even from partial or smudged prints.

Extensive Databases

The effectiveness of fingerprint-based criminal history checks is bolstered by the extensive databases maintained by various law enforcement and government agencies. These databases, such as the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), contain millions of fingerprint records collected over decades. The sheer volume and historical depth of these databases increase the likelihood of identifying matches, thereby improving the accuracy of criminal history checks.

Cross-Jurisdictional Collaboration The accuracy of fingerprint-based criminal history checks is also enhanced by cross-jurisdictional collaboration. Agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as international bodies, often share fingerprint data. This cooperation ensures that fingerprint records are comprehensive and up-to-date, making it easier to track individuals across different regions and legal jurisdictions. This collaborative approach significantly reduces the chances of overlooking pertinent criminal history information.

High Standards and Protocols

Law enforcement agencies follow stringent standards and protocols when collecting and analyzing fingerprints. Proper training of personnel, adherence to legal and procedural guidelines, and the use of high-quality equipment all contribute to the accuracy of fingerprint data. These high standards help ensure that the collected fingerprints are clear, correctly classified, and properly stored for future reference.

Reduction of Human Error

The integration of automated systems in fingerprint analysis has substantially reduced the potential for human error. Manual processing and matching of fingerprints are prone to mistakes, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. Automated systems minimize these errors through precise algorithms and machine learning techniques that continually improve with increased data and usage.

Real-Time Updating and Monitoring Fingerprint-based criminal history checks benefit from real-time updating and monitoring capabilities. Law enforcement agencies can quickly update fingerprint databases with new records, arrests, or changes in an individual’s criminal status. This real-time capability ensures that background checks reflect the most current information available, enhancing their accuracy and reliability.

Conclusion

The accuracy of fingerprint-based criminal history checks is rooted in the unique and permanent nature of fingerprints, coupled with advanced technological systems and comprehensive databases. The collaboration between various jurisdictions and the high standards maintained in fingerprint collection and analysis further bolster the reliability of this method. As technology continues to evolve and integration among law enforcement agencies becomes more seamless, the precision and dependability of fingerprint-based criminal history checks are likely to improve even further. This combination of biological uniqueness, technological sophistication, and procedural rigor makes fingerprint-based criminal history checks an indispensable tool in ensuring public safety and maintaining the integrity of the criminal justice system.

Can I have Yan!Jungkook (IAFY) + Somnophilia? Thanks

hey anon, how are you? thank you soo much for your request. i'm sooo sorry for the delay:(( have a wonderful week<3

yandere!jungkook (i'll always forgive you) + somnophilia

Ever since you noticed his pattern of schedules, you've come to hate Thursdays.

He wakes up earlier than usual and takes your still-sleeping body down to the basement, where he carefully lays you down on the mattress you slept on for the first few nights, before becoming good enough to sleep next to him in the master bedroom.

You don't like the basement. Despite the electric lighting, it's still a little dark, which makes for a sinister vibe. The walls are dirty, there are spiders and other insects that you fear and the smell is not the most pleasant, in addition to the disturbing memories of the painful punishments that happened in this room. He leaves breakfast ready on a small table beside the makeshift bed and a note wishing you a good morning and telling you he loves you.

You miss him so much throughout the day, boredom turns to loneliness, and you want his company so badly. Beside him, even if sometimes in silence, the atmosphere is welcoming. It's strange to think that all the hate and revulsion you felt at first turned into dependence and love. You're still sad that he doesn't trust you enough to let you be alone in the other rooms of the house, but you understand his side. He loves you and just wants to protect you, even if from himself.

He arrives later than usual and as much as you try to stay awake to receive him, you end up falling asleep without even realizing it.

Jungkook can't avoid smiling suit with the sight of your fragile body shrunken on the mattress, but soon he felt the blame him attaining him to notice the expression of the disturbed on your face. You probably had a shit day just like it, you need to relax as much as it.

Just like in the morning, he carries your body gently to the upstairs, taking great care not to wake you before leaving you on the comfortable mattress.

A first kiss is deposited on your forehead, then his lips go to your cheek, jaw, chin and lips slightly parted, where it takes a little more. You move again, ending up staying on your stomach and he smiles. So cute. He then decides to get rid of the heavy clothes he wears, getting naked and then positions himself behind you and pulls your body to his. He loves the comfort that the height difference between you provides, your back against his well-defined pectoral, buttocks pressed in the erection in the middle of his legs.

He releases a hoarse groan against yourr soft skin when you end up rubbing unconsciously against the stick of the same, not being able to avoid he takes a hand to your hip and forces you to move again. "Fuck ..." Some incomprehensible noises also escape from your mouth.

Jeon Jungkook's bold hand slides down your thighs and pulls your sweater up, accumulating all and fabric a little above your navel. Then he lifts your leg carefully and uses his free hand to hold the already erect cock and rub through yourr entire sensitive core. He thanks himself mentally for having sent you to be without panties.

"Ah ..." You moaned when you wake up and feel the stick tissue from invading your entry slowly. "J-Jungkook what -"

"Shh, baby, relax," he whispers in your ear, staring at the slow and deep thrusts, taking advantage of your walls by pressing his length. "Shit, you're so tight," curses a hand to one of your breasts to touch the soft flesh.

"M-more kook, please!" He smiles past your plea and grants your request, increasing the speed of the movements.

2. fist fight, get drunk with, share a flat with

Oh that is so easy. Share a flat with Sigma, because he's SANE and i might be able to SLEEP, fist fight Fyodor because I would actually win, and get drunk with Nikolai. I bet it would be fucking insane and I would wake up locked in his basement /pos

7. go to a wedding with, go to a party with, go to a museum with

Go to a wedding with Sigma. He would behave. He would be nice to be around and he wouldn't absolutely ruin it shdfhghfd. Go to a party with Nikolai for the same reasons because 1. fyodor would just sit in the corner the whole time and 2. nikolai knows how to party. Any party with Nikolai there is going to result in at least three fatalaties a sex dungeon and seventy five cops. And go to a museum with Fyodor, I think he would have a lot to say and I would love to hear his thoughts on the art, however depressing they are. He's quiet and very thoughtful and probably could tell me worlds more about it than the museum staff.

10. netflix and chill with, go ice-skating with, play dodgeball against

oh my god this one is. I don't know how to ice skate I've never ice skated in my life even though it sounds soo fun so I would do it with Sigma because he might actually be able to teach me and also I do NOT want to go up against Sigma in dodgeball he would have mad strategy and I am not ready for that. I do want to go up against Fyodor in dodgeball! Because I would win. And then you know what im gonna say for netflix and chill

IM SORRY FOR PICKING THE I WANNA FUCK NIKOLAI OPTION EVERY SINGLE TIME IN MY DEFENSE. I WANNA FUCK NIKOLAI

Mistfaeken Identity || Regan & Winston

Winston wasn't exactly used to this stuff. They weren't sure what was going on but they were convinced that there had to be someway of getting their name back. But right now they weren't focused on any of the above, instead they were simply focused on making sure that they were able to get Regan out of her weird denial. She was insistent that what was happening to them wasn't possible. They weren't sure how she could find an excuse for everything that was clearly supernatural but it was an obvious skill. Tucking the loose end of their shirt in, they moved towards the morgue from the street, slipping inside they showed their ID to an obviously bored receptionist, before asking to be directed to Dr Kavanagh. "R... right sorry we're at work, Dr Kavanagh, are you free now?"

Regan couldn't make sense of this damn arm. One day it was nice and fresh, a clean slice through the humerus and surrounding muscle, and the next day she returned to find it a puddle of goo in the freezer. She'd had time to log the prints in IAFIS and pull up one Remmington McCallister as a match, but she'd barely had time for more than a cursory examination of the limb before it slipped right through her fingers. Somehow. Regan had just finished cleaning up -- bottling the remaining arm goo and putting it back in the freezer (checking twice to ensure the correct temperature setting) -- when the morgue door opened and none other than Maybe-Winston walked in. Ah, that was right. She'd invited them to come show that Photoshopped ID in person. Regan gave them a smile from beneath her surgical mask before looping it off her face and tossing it in the trash with her gloves. She waved toward the door. "Why don't we go into my office? I'm expecting intake to be down here with a new decedent any minute." Regan motioned to the office door right across the hall from the autopsy suite, and invited Maybe-Winston to take a seat. She leaned against the wall, not quite knowing where to begin. "So, umm... do you still not remember your name?"

Winston nodded as they strode in. They had half been ready to pull their ID out and jam it directly under Regan's nose so she had no choice but to admit that they had actually been right all along and she had infact been wrong. However, they were willing to be patient. "Sure, that sounds like a good idea." They weren't sure that they particularly wanted to see a dead body or have this conversation over heard by anymore people then was necessary. "Uh, so far I have not remembered my name," they replied with a sad sigh, "I don't understand it really." They took a seat at Regan's suggestion and shifted uncomfortably in their spot for a moment before speaking again. "There must be someway for me to reverse this, I just need to work out what that is..."

Regan was hit with an unexpected jab of sympathy as Maybe-Winston admitted they still didn't remember their name. There was pain in their eyes. This whole time, Regan was more concerned about the pathology of what happened that she hadn't taken Maybe-Winston's feelings into account. Now that she thought about it, it was probably incredibly distressing to remember everything about yourself, but your name. Feeling like something was missing or taken from you without knowing exactly what it was. She nodded in understanding, hoping that the gesture showed Maybe-Winston that she did care beyond just a diagnosis. "Let's... let's look at the facts," Regan said, mustering a small smile. "You don't remember your name. You do remember everything else about yourself. Er -- as far as we can tell. Do you remember the last time you said your name? That could help us figure out when exactly you may have sustained head trauma." She pressed her tongue to the roof of her mouth in thought. Unfortunately, reversing this probably wasn't going to be easy. "The good news is that often, this type of memory loss goes away on its own, given time."

Winston considered everything that Regan was saying. They however clearly did not remember any traumatic event and they did remember everything else. It seemed to them that there wasn't a conventional explanation for this. They were sure that there was a more supernatural explanation for all of this, but Regan wasn't exactly the type to be convinced by that. "Yeah, I guess ... I guess that is true. I don't remember any specific trauma and it's not like I have any bruises or bumps on my head." They tried to specifically remember the last time that they had said their first name. But aside from knowing that they must've said it to Regan, they couldn't remember a specific time. "I think, the last time I could've said it was to you, because you started calling me it first, before that I don't remember this being a problem." They shrugged, somewhat defeated.

Right. The restaurant. They kept circling back to that, and Regan knew it was correct. She hadn't pulled the name Winston out of thin air -- they had introduced themself that way. "You did say your name was Winston, right after I asked if I could have it." She twisted her lips in thought. "I didn't see you bump your head on anything. I would have asked about it, made sure you were okay." And while seeing that strange, scary dog (or possibly a frat boy in a leotard and mime mask) was traumatizing in its own way, the name confusion started before they'd stepped out of the restaurant, hadn't it? So this wasn't a psychological attempt to forget other occurrences from that night. "Has this ever happened to you before? Anything similar?"

Winston was sure that something had happened in the restaurant. "I cannot remember bumping it and like I said, no marks to make me think otherwise. You didn't see anything. So I don't really know." They shifted in their chair, moving from leaning to the left to leaning to the right and then to trying to sit perfectly in the middle. Failing in all regards. They had never had any of this happen to them that was even remotely similar. "I haven't got any experience with anything like that, this is the first time it's ever happened. Honestly, I have never ever had anything remotely like this. I had older relatives with alzheimers but I don't think this is the same thing."

Regan lifted herself from the wall and approached Maybe-Winston, taking a seat across from them. She was tempted to ask if she could palpate their head for bruises, but she didn't think that would go over well. Besides, it really sounded like this wasn't head trauma. Not the physical sort, anyways. "No, no, this isn't Alzheimer's." Regan shook her head. "How about that ID you brought me? Can I take a look?"

Raising an eyebrow thoughtfully, Winston patted their jeans and then their jacket in an attempt to locate their wallet. Finally finding it on the inside of their jacket they pulled out their wallet and fished out their ID, handing their driver's license over to Regan, they also pulled their passport out of their bag to show her the name again. "See, it is the whole like first name blurred and I don't know how I would manage to photoshop this stuff in really life, so you can help me out with that one I guess."

Regan felt her breath catch in her throat as Maybe-Winston dug around for their wallet. She knew the video that was sent to her online had to be doctored in some way, and that meant she had very little idea of what to expect from this actual ID in person. When Maybe-Winston had it in hand and displayed it for her, Regan squinted. It looked like someone had dropped one of those censorship blurs on television right over their name. "Do you mind?" She reached for the ID and held it up to the light, giving it a long, hard look. It was almost like there was movement around the blur, somehow. Like in the video they'd sent. But that's... well, maybe the ID had some kind of... screen, or something. It was a fake. Yes. That was it. "I-- I think someone took your real ID and replaced it with this one." Regan said slowly. Though she wanted to feel confident about that, the uncertainty was clear. "This makes me think that someone... somehow... did this to you. Have you looked for your birth certificate?"

Winston frowned. "I thought that maybe that would be the case," they replied, "I was almost convinced that I would get to the next piece of ID and it would be different, like normal. But anywhere where my name should be it appears like that. It doesn't have anything about my surname. Just whatever my first name should be." They frowned gently and began loading web pages and other versions of documents that had their name. Everything from their birth certificate, to letters addressed to them and even their facebook profile. "How do you explain that?" They asked with a frown. "I'm just as stumped as you are, this isn't ... normal, it shouldn't even be possible. The amount of work that this would've taken is ridiculous. So ... why me?"

Regan stared down at Maybe-Winston's phone as they pulled up other existing locations where their name would be stored. Blur. Blur. Blur. Every time. This wasn't just a case of head trauma, that much was clear. This was an organized attack against them. Regan's jaw dropped. "This is -- I've never seen anything like this before." Her eyes snapped to Maybe-Winston's. "Not only did someone make you forget your name, they also went through the effort of removing it in every single existing location." That meant... "That means they have access to our database." The seriousness of that statement made her mouth form a grave line. "Have you made any enemies here?"

Winston couldn't comprehend the refusal that Regan insisted on displaying. "There's literally no one, I don't know loads of people, I don't make enemies and I don't piss people off if you'll forgive my language." They tapped their fingers on their knees, adjusting their position once more. "There is no sense to it, there's no value to doing any of this, I've considered every possibility and I have considered every scenario that I could possibly think of." They had considered something else. "It seems unlikely that someone could do this and also make me forget all of this. At least not with anything that I know anything about." They raise their eyebrows and frowned a moment later. "You haven't thought maybe it could be something else?"

Maybe-Winston seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown and really, Regan couldn't blame them. It had to be devastating to lose such an important part of who you were. And of course, the fact that just about none of this made sense added to Regan's frustration. "You're sure?" Regan asked, with little conviction. Maybe-Winston seemed pretty damn sure that no one disliked them enough to pull such a cruel and elaborate prank. Plus, this was borderline impossible and almost certainly illegal, given that it touched on their private databases. "What do you mean by 'something else'? What else is there?"

Frowning, Winston shrugged gently before nodding. "Yeah I am pretty sure. It's not even like I have a hand in arrests, there aren't any criminals who don't like me or anything like that, at least none that I am aware of." They had tried to make an art form out of being unnoticed unless someone needed something from them. It had worked in school and college. Apparently all good things had to come to an end however. They ran a fingernail along the edge of the chair's seat, chewing on their lip thoughtfully. "I don't have an answer for something else, but this is a large scale event to some degree and that means that there has to be some explanation for what this was. Why would anyone go to all this effort to do this? It's breaking several data protection laws if nothing else. This doesn't seem worth it over a name."

Regan nudged her chair closer to Maybe-Winston's, trying to offer them a sympathetic smile. It did not come easily; this felt like a rather grave situation. "I... I wish I had the answer to that question. And it's driving me crazy that there's no clear explanation." She ran a hand through her hair and sighed. "I'm sorry that this happened to you, Wi-- Dane. I really am. Would you at least consider getting an MRI so we can be sure there's no apparent damage? It seems like a place to start. Maybe the only place to start." Though at this point, she knew neither of them thought this was strictly head trauma. A thought occurred to her. "What if... what if someone did this to steal your identity?"

Pausing for a moment, Winston wasn't sure that they wanted to think about what the bill for an MRI would be like. They were sure that it wasn't going to be good. They were also sure that this wasn't necessary, but maybe if it would help convince Regan that there was something else going on here then it would be worth it. "I don't think anyone has an explanation right now and whilst I hope that it get's worked out I'm aware that sometimes these things don't always go ... perfectly." Winston shrugged. "I considered identity theft and I guess maybe it could be that, but why use all these resources on a college student who's an intern at the station? What does it gain them? I don't have loads of cash, I don't have any access really..." they shrugged, "I guess it's a possibility but it seems remote."

"Identity theft makes the most sense, but I agree it's... more than a little strange that someone would go such great lengths. And that they stole your identity of all people." Regan didn't like this at all. "I'm going to look into this, okay?" Regan stood up, then bent down in front of Maybe-Winston to meet their eyes. "We're going to figure out what happened here and get this fixed. I don't have an answer for you today, but... there is one out there, I know it." Today, though, there was nothing she could do. Regan lifted herself back up and sighed, holding the door open. Maybe-Winston looked about ready to leave -- still rather dejected. “Let’s check back in with each other soon.”

[pm] So, um -- this arm. I'd like to give you an examination, if you're receptive to it. The prints on the limb match your file on IAFIS.

[pm] Yeah, because it’s my arm. I already told you that.

Uh, sure. Yeah. I can do that.

How Are Fingerprints Obtained From a Crime Scene?

A fingerprint is comprised of a collection of different swirling lines, each one completely unique based on the way the lines are formed and patterned. There are only seven different line types that make up different finger prints, but because the lines can start, split or stop at any point within the fingerprint, there are an endless number of patterns that can be created. The billions of different fingerprints that exist are comprised of many different angles, lengths, formations, widths and heights of these seven different line types.

Fingerprints left at crime scenes can be uncovered using several different methods. One of the most popular methods uses various adhering powders that are attracted to the oils present in fresh fingerprints. The fingerprint is made visible because the powder sticks to the oil imprint of the lines and ridges, forming the fingerprint. Another method for discovering fingerprints involves using either superglue, or Cyano-Acrylate, that vaporize when heated and the smoke attaches to the fingerprint in order to leave a visible white print. There are other methods that can be utilized in order to discover latent finger prints, but these typically involve specialized laboratory equipment that is not always available to crime scene technicians.

Fingerprint dusting methods work best with fresh fingerprints because they rely on our skin oils that are naturally secreted from the eccrine glands in our fingertips and are left behind on surfaces that we touch. Only the raised portions of our fingerprints actually touch the surface, which leaves a nice clear fingerprint behind. Fingerprinting dust clings to these skin oils, which is what allows the print to become visible.

Most fingerprints are initially run through state criminal fingerprint databases first. Not all state crime labs have access to the IAFIS database, even though the database is essentially free to use and is available for any crime lab to obtain. Typically, if a crime lab has no luck with a fingerprint search on a local level, they can turn to IAFIS in an attempt to find an out-of-state fingerprint match. More here No wait fingerprinting

Originally fingerprints only had a great deal of purpose when it came to solving crimes that had already occurred, though fingerprinting is gaining popularity in other crime-fighting methods. Biometrics allow people to keep track of the public coming and going in some circumstances, such as entering a court house by first giving your fingerprint. Many states require you to give your fingerprint when you apply for your driver's license, or have a check cashed in order to prevent fraud. Children are being fingerprinted early so that if they ever go lost, it will be easier to find them because they are in the system. And some high profile buildings like banks have locks which rely on fingerprints in order to open them. So there is a lot more that a fingerprint can do than simply put a bad guy away. They can also keep people safe, and help keep track of people by storing them in the fingerprint database.
