In this age of technology, we have to be careful.
I just want you all to be careful, and aware, of the current possibilities of law enforcement: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5623187/Police-track-drug-dealer-figuring-fingerprint-WhatsApp-PHOTO-hand.html
I know it sounds silly, but I would rather us all be safe than sorry.

Confused as to how they got enough of a print from that photo? Seems you can see very little of the actual pads etc

I think there's enough visible on the right to match up a full handprint. It's also likely he had more photos of his hands on his instagram account.

Reminds me off the rapist that got convicted decades after the crime because of a DNA sample he submitted to a genealogy company. The article didn't say how that information got shared with law enforcement. Creepy as hell.

The cold case unit probably contacted the genealogy companies and asked if they had any matches for that asshole's DNA. Turns out they did...
