Illinois Fingerprint Consent: Fill & Download for Free

"Jaywalking" is usually a violation of a State statute or local ordinance. If a person is stopped for a traffic violation, s/he can usually be detained until an officer is relatively sure of her/his identity.Whether a person is stopped for a pedestrian violation depends a lot on where you are and what else is going on. My jurisdiction includes a Major University with approximately 45,000 students, faculty, and staff. During the past several years, about ten pedestrians have died as a result of being struck by motor vehicles. Pedestrians get stopped quite a bit in my town, and many of them receive traffic citations for the violations. I typically won't stop someone for jaywalking on a deserted street, but will make the stop if the person interferes with other traffic on the roadway.In most cases, the person's identity can be verified at the time of stop by checking for a driver's license or State ID through the officer's dispatch or in-car computer. For instance, I can retrieve a person's Illinois driver's license photo on my car's computer to verify s/he is who s/he claims to be. If the person is from another State, I can still verify the person's information by the physical description provided. If the Maryland DL says the person is 5'9" tall and weighs 200 pounds, the 5'1" person standing in front of me probably has some explaining to do...Eventually, it just comes down to whether the officer believes the person or not. In most cases where I doubted someone's word about her/his identity, I would explain that lying to the police about your name is an additional crime (a felony in Illinois) and the punishment can be worse than the reason why the person is lying. I would give the person one chance to change any of the information s/he gave me without adding the additional charges, but if I had to prove s/he was lying, I would take her/him to jail.Most times, the person would correct the information. In many of these cases, the person had a warrant for another crime and would be arrested on the warrant. Less frequently, the person just lied so s/he wouldn't get a citation. I would be able to verify the "real" identity and would just issue the pedestrian citation. On a few occasions, the person adopted a "keep lying at all costs" attitude and went to jail on the felony charge.What's particularly fun about the felony "obstructing justice" arrest is that if the person continues to lie at the jail, s/he can be held up to 72 hours without bond in order to run fingerprints through the national fingerprint database. Only one person has continued to lie after discovering that, and he was wanted for sexual assault in another State.About searching: The standards for searching still apply: A warrant or consent are needed to search someone who is not under arrest. A Terry pat-down is not a search, but if the person claims to not have a wallet and I can feel what is obviously a wallet during the pat-down, that can be part of my probable cause to arrest on the obstructing justice charge.

It is actually much more than just storage and use of your bio metric data. The two key points are, firstly. there are no damages so, in most cases, the case would be thrown out and, secondly, the unknowing and non consensual collection of biometric data. Why are you collecting my finger prints and what will you do with them? This is a direct privacy violation.The law requires companies collecting information such as facial, fingerprint and iris scans to obtain prior consent from consumers or employees, detailing how they’ll use the data and how long the records will be kept. It also allows private citizens to sue, while other states let only the attorney general bring a lawsuit.Rollercoasters and Fingerprints: Why an Illinois Biometric Court Case MattersCustomers in Illinois have the right to sue companies for taking their biometric data—like fingerprints or iris scans—without their consent. That was the verdict Friday of the Supreme Court of Illinois, which reversed an earlier decision in the case of a 14-year-old boy who bought a season pass to a Six Flags amusement park and unwittingly had his fingerprints taken by Six Flags in the process. The case hinges on Illinois’ strict biometric security law, which passed in 2008, giving the state the strictest rules in the country for how companies can collect permanent personal data like fingerprints. Though that specific law might restrict implications from this ruling to the state of Illinois, the Chicago Tribune explains why Silicon Valley companies passed in 2008, giving the state the strictest rules in the country for how companies can collect permanent personal data like fingerprints. Though that specific law might restrict implications from this ruling to the state of Illinois, the Chicago Tribune explains why Silicon Valley companies are worried anyway. Companies like Facebook and Google have already had to change or pull offerings in the state of Illinois in order to comply with the law, and Facebook has been sued over it in the past. The current ruling makes it clear that a privacy violation is in itself grounds for consumers to sue companies directly.

We had some very sensitive information mailed to a competitor, no return address.To their credit, they immediately secured the documents, called our legal team, and hand delivered them back to our lawyers.We knew who did it, but could not prove it, even if we went to the police and had it processed for fingerprints, because this person would have reason to touch them as part of their normal job.Very frustrating, because there was nothing we could do. We couldn't fire the person without cause, and although a jerk, never had gotten performance ratings bad enough to justify dismissal. The person could be really good at the job, as long as you assigned work to him/her that he/she thought was appropriate for the genius the person perceived themself to be. But if assigned work he/she felt was not worthy of their “stunning intellect”, would pout and perform miserably.Sadly, in today’s big corporate world, it is almost impossible to fire someone, even in an employment at will state like Illinois. Fear of litigation has produced processes that make it unbelievably onerous in terms of documentation, performance improvement plans, endless meetings with the employee to discuss performance, ten gillion steps of warnings, oral, documented oral, performance improvement plan of at least 6 month duration, bi-weekly meetings with employee on progress, initial written warning, final written warning. All the while you hope, that as any sensible person would (knowing that things just weren't working out) they would seek and find other employment.We instituted tighter security and logging on who printed what, and when. Who accessed certain databases, and when, and instituted a policy that these types of documents could not be taken from the building without written consent.Eventually, not too long after, the person left voluntarily for greener pastures.I've occasionally wondered what happened to the person later in life.
