>Police were able to identify him, as the print was on their database linked to a drink-driving incident from 1999.
Ok, this is scary. So fingerprints collected 24 years ago for completely unrelated (and dubious - why collect fingerprints for drunk driving) reasons basically live forever in the gov databases. I'm not sure I welcome this brave new world.
