WTF?

Am I missing something?

There are two issues here:

1. Digital fingerprint scanning against a national database.

2. Going mobile.

How is the first worse than the old ink-and-filing-cabinets method?

How is the second worse than wasting time down the nick?

I'm not trolling, just genuinely ignorant.
