When packaging / handling illicit items, I wear at minimum a thick cotton/wool winter glove. Usually winter glove + nitryl glove.
There is a lot of material between my fingertips and the items I am touching, so I don't worry about latent prints getting through the thick glove.
However, I have to touch the thick winter gloves to put them on in the first place. Every once in awhile, I am sure my fingertips have accidentally come into contact with various exterior parts of the cotton winter glove.
Question is: Can my fingers leave latent prints on the outside of the winter glove that, once I'm wearing the gloves, are capable of being transferred to a substance that I touch?
More specifically - can a latent print transfer from the surface of one item to another item very easily? All of the research I have done leads me to believe that the answer is no - especially from a porous surface to a nonporous one (winter glove --> package, for example).
And a related question:
Say I've touched a countertop without gloves and left latent prints on that countertop. If I accidentally toss an item (such as a piece of mail, for instance) onto the countertop, could prints transfer to the piece of mail?
SInce selling hard drugs off the DNM ,I get so fucking sketched out that every one is trying to wear a wire on me and all, when I meet certain people I barely even speak, def not about drugs, use hand signals or whisper and say " the phones are listening " one kid got offended the one time. I don't give a fuck.
Plus I use gloves and wipe everything down with chems. the bags that is. TRust nobody. NOt even your homies dude. DRug game is crazy. Heroin blew my town up, I seen dope fiends do crazy shit and always telling on each other, wearing wires for cops for a bundle of dope or 100$ a wire wear.
Fuck that shit. I don't even trust kid I been awesome friends with for years done a lot of drugs with, and he knows it and is so offended by it. I study my customers, I stalk your facebook. I stalk police arrest reports. I ask around.
IF you are breaking the law, robbing people, getting arrested, scamming people, getting strung out on hard drugs, the people you hang out with, history of snitching, I creep up on all that fucking shit, if I find anything I will cut you off in a heart beat.
BE smart. Nobody just wakes up and puts on a wire and takes it to the cops. IT is usually a sick drug addict cops are taking advantage of, or something in a big bit of trouble where bringing the DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MORE FELONY CHARGES, ON ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL, will lower there own or completely set them free, if the charges were substansially better.
FUCK 12
oh but anyways, package in a clean ass room, wearing a bag over your head covering your hairline, secured tight, with the neck of your shirt, arms, torso, and pant leggings, also taped off secured tight. Minimizing any skin cell or hair exposure falling off onto packaging at all, latex gloves, and a tight pair of fabric gloves over those. and you should have nothing to worry about.. keep your packing material and vac seals cleaned too and sprayed off and out with compressor and shit. dont leave things sitting out and open.
