does fingerprinting happen when arrested, or when charged and booked? because, uh, a friend of mine, was arrested once and then released before being booked, charged or mug shotted and was not fingerprinted. but maybe it differs by state?
I was fingerprinted to work for the city and county of San Francisco, for what it's worth. I had to go to the SOMA jail to do it.
I was only arrested. No handcuffs, no car. It happened on the Berkeley campus in the late 1980s and I was walked to the basement of Sproul Hall. They took my prints (no picture that I can recall), interviewed me awhile, then told me they didn't want me after all. I'm so fucking sweet.
