wow, what injustice. You commited a crime and got caught. Man maybe they should rethink the fingerprinting thing.
Seriously though. I know many people say that its an intrusion of privacy. But its not like they're taking them from A students who don't act out. These are probably kids who misbehave commonly and a handful of them will commit crimes in the future. Now we can catch them easier. We need to stop being so protective of peoples right to anonymously commit crime in this country. We can't even take DNA samples from Death row inmates to try and solve some other crimes they may have commited. It drives me insane. If you screw up once I have no issue with DNA and fingerprints being taken. If anything it might make you think twice before you do something again.

According to one article, they're fingerprinting everyone so they can implement biometric class registers. It's in the UK, incidentally, not the US.
