Re:Thumbprints at Banks



Sign the check 'without recourse' and see what they do. If they refuse to cash <U>because</U> of that,&then&that is&evidence they violated your 4th amendment right to be secure in&your person. &

This means fingerprints are collected solely as evidence of a crime before any crime is known -- or even reasonably believed -- to be taking place. This clearly qualifies as a violation of the 4th Amendment which guarantees to us the right "to be secure in [our] persons....against unreasonable searches &amp; seizures...". Certainly my fingerprint is part of my person, so by what right do banks require me to waive a right in order to cash a check?
