WhatsApp photo drug dealer caught by 'groundbreaking' work
A pioneering fingerprint technique used to convict a drugs gang from a
WhatsApp message "is the future" of how police approach evidence to catch criminals. An image of a man holding ecstasy tablets in his palm was found on the mobile of someone arrested in Bridgend. It was sent to South Wales Police's scientific support unit and helped to secure 11 convictions. These are believed to be the first convictions in Wales from fingerprints taken from a photograph. The unit's Dave Thomas described its use as "groundbreaking" and said officers are now looking more closely at photographs on phones seized for potential evidence.

Yes. This is 'cutting edge' photography and interpretation! No. It was just another way to obtain a partial fingerprint, and to confirm the identity of a subject. Fingerprint ID in forensics has been viable concept since 1853. Charles Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton studied the use of unique fingerprints for identification in the 1880’s. In 1891 an Argentine police official, Juan Vucetich created the first police fingerprint files. In Buenos Aires in 1892 a Vucetich trainee, Inspector Eduado Alvarez made the first criminal identification from a latent print at a crime scene. The fingerprint branch at New Scotland Yard was established in 1901. The New York Service Commission, The NY State Prison system, and Leavenworth Federal Penitentary started using fingerprints in 1903. The US Army starts using fingerprints for ID, and the US Department of Justice forms the Bureau of Criminal Identification, to create a centralized reference collection of fingerprint cards in 1905. There was yet to be an FBI. In 1910 Fredrick Brayley published the first American text book on fingerprints; “Arrangement of Fingerprints, Identification, and Their Uses.” Things have moved on since then with current advanced technology, so no, what was used in that case was not ‘cutting edge’, just an opportunistic windfall of evidence. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I appreciate your response and for the historical insights. I personally believe that few criminals would have imagined that the police could have identified someone from an online photograph of a hand! -- David B. |

Yup. The police already had a suspect, the partial print just confirmed things. -- Regards, Savageduck |
