Re: Fingerprint Rejections
wouldn't that mean that you could just give them unreadable prints three times over?

Re: Fingerprint Rejections
The prints were the only real downside to the whole chl process for me.
Firstly, the LEO that did my prints was talking to the class instructor the entire time he was trying to print me. I asked him if I could do it, but he was intent on mashing my fingers as hard as he could into the card. And when he was done I asked him if he really thought that those sets would do, and he said he never had anyone's prints that HE did ever get rejected.
Well, surprise, surprise, mine got rejected. Not only did I have to do the FAST laser printing, I had to wait 2 more months for my chl. I really thought about sending a complaint to that officer's sarge about him being a thick headed you-know-what. I was sent a small letter saying that I needed to redo my cards and mail them back. The rejected cards that they sent back were not the original, but photocopies (kinda a waste of taxpayer money imo, but what do I know, I just pay them to make mistakes right?) and at the bottom of the photocopied page there was a list of technical reasons why prints were not acceptable. The correct one for my instance was circled. I don't remember what all was on the list, or exactly what they circled, it's been a while since then and I threw them out shortly after receiving them.
My prints really don't show well on anything, and there have been a few times I've had my prints done, and the only times they've worked using ink is when I have done them myself. Even the chick at the laser scan place couldn't get readable prints. I had to scan each finger at least five times. I have a higher ridge per surface area than most people and it just doesn't show up well with any printing method.
Now, if I remember correctly, the instructor for my class said something along the lines of:
If you send in prints 3 times to DPS, and they fail, you have to retake the entire class and shooting portion. So basically, you pass "Go," pay $200 dollars and start over.
My advice is that if your ink prints fail the first time, do the FAST laser printing, because you will see on the screen, before they print the cards, if your prints will be good enough.
