NEW YORK - The city has agreed to destroy hundreds of fingerprints taken from protesters arrested at this summer's Republican National Convention, the New York Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday.



The destruction of the fingerprints comes two weeks after the legal rights group filed two lawsuits challenging the routine fingerprinting of protesters accused of misdemeanors, NYCLU executive director Donna Lieberman said.


Under state law, police may take fingerprints of those charged with minor violations such as disorderly conduct only if they can't ascertain a person's identity, suspect the identification given by the person is inaccurate, or reasonably believe the person is being sought for another crime, Lieberman said.

"Certainly, it should not be a routine outcome for those who are arrested after they engage in a political protest," Lieberman said in a statement.

2. This is the start of a data base of "left" wing undesirables

The Bush Criminals through their lackey Johnny Asscrack are almost paranoid about identifying any one who doesn't agree with their meglomaniac plans for world domination.

The Bush Criminals are preparing a list of undesirables for later elimination as they press forward with their PNAC agenda.

Mark my words--- the FBI already has these fingerprints and has them in a "SPECIAL" file.
