A pioneering fingerprint technique used to convict a drugs gang
from a WhatsApp message "is the future" of how police approach
evidence to catch criminals.

An image of a man holding ecstasy tablets in his palm was found
on the mobile of someone arrested in Bridgend.

It was sent to South Wales Police's scientific support unit and
helped to secure 11 convictions.

These are believed to be the first convictions in Wales from
fingerprints taken from a photograph.

The unit's Dave Thomas described its use as "groundbreaking"
and said officers are now looking more closely at photographs
on phones seized for potential evidence.

Did ANYONE watch this video?


Yes.

This is 'cutting edge' photography and interpretation!


No. It was just another way to obtain a partial fingerprint, and
to confirm the identity of a subject.

Fingerprint ID in forensics has been viable concept since 1853.
Charles Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton studied the use of
unique fingerprints for identification in the 1880’s.


It's pseudo science.
