Livescan Plagues Other Villages

The electronic fingerprinting state mandate is not just our little local problem.  I found this article on Newzjunky.  I copied this section because I like the way they think!

....Until the state forces the TLPD to switch to electronic prints, Proulx said the department will continue to use ink. He said if the department were to spend the money, it would likely buy a live-scan machine because they are more efficient, but $30,000 is like the price of a new car.
"It's not on our priority list of things to do, because obviously the village is not in a position to pull $30,000 out of the budget to buy this piece of equipment," Proulx said. "As we see it, having new vehicles is a priority to us."....

Nor is the Village of Abay in a position to spend $15,000.    And we already bought a new police car and 2 police bikes [or was that 4?]
