• RP, JAPAN SIGN NOTES ON SCHOLARSHIP GRANT AND ON FINGERPRINT ID SYSTEM .
• Ople and Japanese Ambassador Kojiro Takano today signed and exchanged two Notes: one on Human Resource Development Scholarship and the other on the Establishment of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). ...
• The scholarship project aims to enhance the capabilities of target beneficiaries from both public and private sectors, including non-government organization, in accordance with the national development thrusts and strategies under the Human Resource Development Sector stipulated under the 2001-2004 Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan. ...
• The Japanese Government shall fund, under the Japan General Grant Aid Program, the 2nd batch of scholars (School Year 2003-2005) for up to sixty-four million yen (¥64,000. ...
• Secretary Ople said “the scholarship will not only afford 20 Filipino students per year the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge in their fields of specialization but it will also enable them to form friendships and establish camaraderie with future leaders of the Japanese government and business sectors. ...
• The Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) project aims to establish an electronic database of fingerprints at the Philippine National Police (PNP). ... The fund will also provide fingerprint kits to crime laboratories in the regional offices. ...
• Nine hundred seventy five million yen (¥975 million) or approximately P 445 million will be provided by the Japanese Government to procure and install a set of AFIS, sets of fingerprint collection kits and other related equipment. ...
• The signing ceremony was attended by officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Japan as well as by officials from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Philippine National Police and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). ...

• Rules establishing a statewide system for photographing and fingerprinting those who apply for and receive government assistance, as a means of preventing fraud, have been upheld by the Third District Court of Appeal. ...
• DSS established the Statewide Fingerprint Imaging System in response to 1996 legislation directing it to “design, implement and maintain” such a system for use in connection with the determination of eligibility for food stamps and for benefits under what was then known as Aid to Families With Dependent Children. ...
• The Legislature declared that a fingerprint identification system is necessary in order to prevent fraudulent applicants from obtaining aid under multiple names or in multiple counties. ...
• Supreme Court has held that the need for prevention of fraud in the operation of government programs is sufficiently compelling to overcome religious objections to the taking of fingerprints. ...
• Morrison rejected the trial judge’s conclusion that DSS exceeded the scope of the authorizing legislation when it declared in the rules that “failure” to comply with the requirements would result in loss of aid. Robie said that went too far, because the authorizing legislation provided that aid would be denied or cut off only if the applicant “refuses” compliance. ...
• But Morrison agreed with DSS that because the rules require that recipients be provided with an explanation of the program and with notice and a fair hearing before aid can be withheld as a sanction for non-compliance, there is no rational distinction between failing and refusing to comply. ...
• The justice also rejected Robie’s conclusion that the department had no authority to apply the rules to persons who applied for aid on behalf of dependent family members prior to the date the authorizing legislation was enacted. ...

• Now that ballistics imaging has connected the bullets used in the Washington, DC, area sniper shootings to the gun found with John Allen Muhammad, I hope you and the NRA will drop your opposition to legislation that would create a National Ballistics Fingerprint Database. I again invite you to accept my offer to work together to enact legislation that will immeasurably aid law enforcement and better protect the public. ...
• The NRA has endorsed the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) which employs the exact same technology that would be used by a ballistics fingerprint database. The ballistics fingerprint database does precisely the same thing, comparing the digital image of a bullet found at a crime scene to the digital image of a bullet fired when a gun was first sold. ...
• You have argued that because ballistic impressions change after a gun has been fired thousands of times, a fingerprint database is useless. ... If they determine that such a database will not aid law enforcement, I will agree to withdraw my support for the database. But if they decide that a national ballistics fingerprint system will aid law enforcement, you agree to support the BLAST bill. ...
• To protect law abiding hunters and sportsmen from any misuse of the ballistics database by government, the BLAST bill explicitly prohibits ballistics information from being used for any purpose unless it is necessary for the investigation of a gun crime. ...

• ATSONIC LAUNCHES FIRST REAL-TIME WIRELESS MOBILE FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY .
• Las Vegas – January 8, 2003 – ATSONIC today introduced the first-ever, real-time wireless mobile fingerprint technology for use by law enforcement, government agencies, the military and even health care systems to provide enhanced capabilities for electronic data processing, retrieval and transmission using state-of-the-art biometrics and enhanced image decomposing and processing. ...
•   It is being jointly demonstrated with Panasonic at the 2nd Annual Government Convention on Emerging Technologies, organized to address issues surrounding Homeland Security. ...
•   With sweetFINGER, fingerprint images can be scanned, compressed and processed through a central or a customized system, transforming processes that previously took hours and even days to minutes and seconds,” he explained.
• “State and local police routinely must check the identity of thousands of individuals using fingerprint data in different field locations,” according to ATSONIC Chief Technical Officer Mugur Tolea. ...
•   All biometric information is then transferred efficiently and securely to the law enforcement agency’s or security organization’s database server in AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) format, for upfront compatibility. ...
•   The scanned fingerprint has 500 dpi resolution and is processed using more than 50 minutiae points – making the speed and accuracy provided by the new software superior to existing technology.   He added that “with the estimated number of individuals with fingerprint profiles, the significance of the speed factor becomes apparent, since ten’s of millions of profiles must be searched each time a fingerprint check is requested from the main FBI databank. ...
• “Research and development on sweetFINGER began in June of 2001 – and with the increasing security issues following 9/11, we sped up development so as to provide this vital aid to law enforcement. ...

• These tragedies all cry out for the government to regulate the gun industry, forcing them to produce a safer product. ... Yet, its efforts are but a first step towards fingerprint-sensitive triggers that can only be fired by the intended user. ...
• But responsibility for preventing such disaster lies not with the government but with the family. Too often, the Federal Government attempts to resolve problems that it is too clumsy and slow to counteract. ...
• "The Government has the right to regulate gun purchases .
• Shouldn't the government be given the right to stop such purchases? Policies such as background checks and mandatory waiting periods deter criminals while negligibly limiting the rest of us. ...
• The Response: One of the basic rights in this country is the freedom to purchase and consume without government intervention. If a woman suddenly feels unsafe in her home, why should she have to wait a week before receiving a gun? If a father wants to take his son hunting on the spur of the moment, what right does the federal government have to stand in his way? A gun registry is the government's attempt to render honest citizens helpless.
• "Gun users should have to register their weapons with the Government, .
• To advance this cause, the government should monitor and record those who purchase weapons, as well as any distinctive features of the weapons themselves. The only ones threatened by this policy are criminals, as it would be a tremendous aid to law enforcement. ...
• The Response: Why aren't the police authorized to fingerprint every citizen and keep the information on file? The answer is that we Americans are rightly wary of government intruding in our private lives. ... A gun registry could be the first descent down a slippery slope of invasive and misguided government monitoring. ...
• The Response: The government is not fit to decide what warrants adequate protection. ...

• Fingerprint Classifiers .
• The identification of people through the examination, classification, and searching of fingerprints is the job of the FINGERPRINT CLASSIFIER, also known as Fingerprint Examiner, Identification Specialist/ Technician, Forensic Specialist/Technician, Latent Fingerprint Analyst, or Fingerprint Expert. Law enforcement agencies routinely fingerprint arrested persons to find out their true identity, to determine if they are wanted for crimes in another jurisdiction, and to disclose any past criminal record. ... In city and county police departments, most Fingerprint Classifiers work mainly with solving burglaries and robberies. In the field, Latent Fingerprint Analysts search a given area to locate, photograph, and lift fingerprints. They also search for latent prints at crime scenes and run these through the automated files of fingerprint images of known subjects. ... Fingerprint classification begins with determining the various types of fingerprint patterns. ... The name, birthdate, height, weight, hair and eye color, and other information such as occupation, identifying scars, marks, and tattoos are recorded on the fingerprint card. One of the major job duties of the fingerprint classifier is to positively identify people. When originally developed, the science of fingerprint identification required manually classifying and searching hundreds of thousands of fingerprint cards to find fingerprints matching those on the card being searched. ... ) as well as images of fingerprint patterns. The classifier codes the fingerprint card, loads it into an image scanner, and waits for the results.

• Government to fingerprint nation.
• BIG BROTHER: Human rights activists are angry the Cabinet has decided to enact 1997 legislation that allows the government to build a national database of fingerprints .
• The announcement came after years of government wrangling over the issue and protests by rights activists that the fingerprint database plan would violate human rights.
• But Huang, though concerned over the issue, said he did not believe the government's plan was set in stone.
• The rationale behind the amendment was that fingerprint technology could help prevent card forgery and would help greatly during criminal investigations.
• But the government has thus far failed to implement the law, because of budgetary constraints and disagreement between government departments.
• The President's Advisory Group on Human Rights (¤HÅv¿Ô¸ß¤p²Õ), set up after the DPP came to power, opposed the idea on the grounds that it represented a violation of human rights, but the Ministry of the Interior and the National Police Administration were for the fingerprint database plan.
• "The government's current practice of assigning an ID card number to every citizen is already questionable.
• " The fingerprint database would make society more transparent to the government, but the government does not appear transparent enough to the people. ...
• "This would have a serious impact on the power and rights balance between the government and the people. ...
• But he denied that either method of fingerprint collection constitutes a fundamental breach of human rights. ...

• Three cases this week epitomize how the Government sometimes attempts to use the power of its office to gain an advantage over defense counsel. ... examined the “troublesome” question of whether and to what extent the attorney-client privilege extends to communications between and among a prospective defendant in a criminal case, her lawyers, and a public relations firm hired by the lawyers to aid in avoiding an indictment. ... However, he also gave the Government an additional chance to show, ex parte, its “substantial need” to review the documents it had subpoenaed, which the defense argued were protected by the separate work product doctrine. ...
• Here he specifically rejected claims that the Government had failed to comply with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act when secretly recording some 85,000 telephone calls, faxes and computer transmissions in its long investigation of this case. ...
• In Saccoccia, the First Circuit affirmed an order requiring one defense attorney to disgorge the “tainted” legal fees he had received; and, while it vacated a similar order in the case of two other attorneys on technical grtounds, it also remanded the case to give the Government the opportunity to pursue other remedies against those attorneys, including contempt proceedings and a state-law conversion charge. ...
• Introduction of Fingerprint Evidence by Defendants Denied As Unduly Prejudicial .
• In Sutton, the Seventh Circuit upheld the exclusion of fingerprint evidence that the defendants wanted to introduce because, even those reports were relevant, were self-authenticating, and fell within the public records exception to hearsay, they were not “substantively admissible” since their probative value was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice to the Government’s case. ...
• In this decision, Judge Kaplan examined what he called “the troublesome question whether and to what extent the attorney-client privilege and the protection afforded to work product extend to communications between and among a prospective defendant in a criminal case, her lawyers, and a public relations firm hired by the lawyers to aid in avoiding an indictment. ...
• For reasons that not even the Court could understand, the Government quickly served a grand jury subpoena ad testificandum on the Witness and a subpoena duces tecum on the PR Firm to compel them to disclose what they had learned about the case from the Target. While the Government swore that its motives in seeking the disclosures at issue were as pure as the driven snow, it had great difficulty explaining why it was seeking the evidence identified in its subpoenas. In fact, when pushed to explain some “substantial need” for the compelled testimony, the Government offered to explain its reasons ex parte and in private to the Court alone; but it insisted - without explaining - that disclosing those motives in open court would “let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. ...
• In any event, counsel for the PR Firm and the Witness and counsel for the Target objected to the subpoenas - and the Government’s motives - claiming that whatever information had been disclosed to the PR Firm and the Witness was part of the Target’s defense strategy and therefore was protected both by the attorney-client privilege and by the separate and distinct work product doctrine.
• “Target, like any investigatory target or criminal defendant, is confronted with the broad power of the government. ...
• In the end, accepting the Government’s assurances that it was not seeking “opinion work product,” Judge Kaplan decided to call the Government’s bluff by allowing it to make an ex parte showing of both the substantial need for the documents in question and the necessity of preserving the confidentially of its submission to protect grand jury secrecy. But he warned that if he concluded that the disclosure of the Government’s submission would not compromise grand jury secrecy, he would disclose that submission to Target’s counsel who will then be permitted to respond on the issue of whether the Government had shown a substantial need for the documents in question.
• In a switch from its normal position, the Government strenuously objected to proposed introduction of fingerprint evidence by the defendants in this case; and the Government prevailed on that issue principally because the Seventh Circuit concluded that the probative value of the fingerprint reports at issue was outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice to the Government’s case. ...
