So I was arrested a week ago on a misdemeanor charge. I was handcuffed, brought to the police station, fingerprinted into the system, and bailed out 24 hours later. People talk about on here all the time, how once arrested your fingerprints are in the database. Are they going to keep my prints forever on record forever in the database? Or is their a possibility since this is a misdemeanor that they are going to toss them out?
Your prints will be in a database forever, yes. Welcome to the club.
