London: Human finger prints are not 100% accurate to identify but the basic theory that everybody has a distinctive fingerprint from which they can be rapidly identified. According to a report by the British expert that familiarized the first automated fingerprint detection system to the Metropolitan Police and the Home Office’s first Forensic Science Regulator, Mike Silverman. He claimed that it has not been shown that fingerprints are unique.
According to him, two finger prints are not same of one man as if it is observed to know, the finger print will be different from the other finger print of one man. He further added in this regard that scanning fingerprints of the elderly as their skin loses elasticity making them changed and some conditions that leaves some people with smooth, featureless fingertips. This make hard to identify the finger prints and make difficulties in this context.
Silverman also notes that families can share elements of the same pattern and thinks that such factors as human error; partial prints and false positives mean that fingerprints evidence is not dependable. Explaining on some of the problems Silverman said that no two fingerprints are ever exactly alike in every detail; even two imprints recorded immediately after each other from the same finger. Silverman also point out the some cases where innocent people have been mistakenly suspect based on inaccurate fingerprinting evidence, he added.
He urged the judiciary to not go any confident evidence in this regard because fingerprints of the same person will be different from the latter every time.
