It's all about getting you in the system. Everything is an opportunity.

Of course, but most already are...without doing anything.

True story.

In the early 80's - the police went around to all public schools in a campaign "to protect children from kidnapping, predators, etc."

So they phrased the entire campaign that this will protect your children - from a mostly .01% chance of happening...we need your kids fingerprints if they get kidnapped so we can find their fingerprints.

They just wanted an entire generation of fingerprints captured as kids...

Before that, you had to do some malfeasance to be forced to give a fingerprint.

And every family had every kid line-up and get fingerprinted to give to the cops.

You were suddenly in the system at age 6, without doing anything wrong.

You couldn't be free, live anonymous...anymore, there was no West, there was no free man.

We are so used to fingerprinting and we forget what an invasion of privacy is - because now the State knows you compared to everyone else in America. You are a number and cataloged.

I don't begrudge our law enforcement for fingerprinting those accused of a crime.

But innocent children are now part of the criminal database? Where is the warrant for that? Where is the probable cause?

That was 1984 (coincidental right, they fingerprinted us in 1984) - You can't make up in comedy skits some of the shite our government does.
