When I was a kid I remember my parents took me to some local police event where they took my fingerprints and made a copy they gave to my parents. It was geared as a system to help parents if your kid ever gets abducted or something like that. Does anyone know if the government kept any of this collection? I've always thought about that over the years that I'm likely already in some system somewhere

Why wouldn't they keep it? It costs no more to keep a kids fingerprints than a serial killers fingerprints.
If "when you were a kid" is 80's or sooner...they're permanent in the IC. Before then, maybe stuff gets lost, but those days are looong gone.
I was kind of hoping someone would say that they worked those events and they never kept anything 😅 it'd been late 80s/early 90s so I've always lived by the assumption that it was one of the greatest cons to database a whole generation back then
Some folks sun their balls; I wonder if I should be burning my fingers! 🤣
This is what I remember too.
Yeah that happened to me at elementary school too. They had like 3 sheriffs at a table in the cafeteria and the whole school got fingerprinted. We went in a class at a time.
I don't even think the school sent out permission slips, they went ahead and just did it.
