    Parents didn’t even need to take the kids anywhere. They did that shit to us at school, and then put a little packet together to take home to your parents.

      Yup. I remember the day we all got fingerprinted. I’d say it was '86 or '87 when they did our whole school. I remember thinking it was super cool.

        Holy shit. What sort of town was this? Was this a local police program? A state thing? A federal pilot?

        I have so many questions.

        I’m pretty sure my first fingerprints were at like age 25 to get licensed as a private eye. Did we have to do them for draft cards at 18? I cannot remember.
