Title: Shipping Safety for Vendors
Post by: Riceflair on February 15, 2012, 02:18 am
Hello all, I was thinking about this, and I'm not sure if anyone has discussed vendors being cautious about leaving finger prints on any part of the letter/package they are shipping. I think taking an extra measure to protect yourself from being identified would be to wear gloves during shipping the contents of the items such as baggies and other things to which finger prints could be recovered.

I doubt they would fingerprint for anything small, but I know I'm getting a disposable glove box when I start vending anyway

Do people realize that fingerprints don't mean anything... unless you are a convicted felon and the gov't already has your prints?

Until you are arrested one day for a DUI, failure to pay parking tickets, drunk and disorderly, resisting arrest, jaywalking, etc.. etc.. etc..

Oh Mr. Jones!  We've been looking for you!  How nice of you to join us.

Every act in America and the UK is illegal unless explicitly permitted by the government.  It doesn't take much to get arrested.  I personally know people who were arrested for simply walking down the street because they left a bar.

Yes, all vendors should already be doing this. Two layers of gloves actually, most disposable gloves are too thin and can still leave fingerprints especially after being worn for an extended period of time. Vendors also have to be careful not to leave any DNA evidence in the packages.

They definitely would.

The government can get your prints in a lot of ways, or you might be arrested later on an unrelated charge.
