I work for a financial services firm. After I came back from my 6 month medical leave of absense there was a requirement that all employees needed to be fingerprinted. This was an expansion since before this Information Technology employees did not need to comply. I went and this was the non ink version, glass plate technlogy. The right hand went fine, both individual fingers and palm print. The left hand was extremely recalcitrant. On the glass plate if you press too hard it won't register because the ridges smoosh together. I never was able to get the right pressure on individual fingers due to spasticity, even though I was holding them with my right hand. The operator excused herself and went to make a call to see if the left hand was necessary. She came back and said it wasn't. My speculation was that there was a realization that if I was going to commit a crime it would be with my right hand.
I don't plan on working this into my stroke rehab goals but it was rather funny. This would be a good idea for a crime show. 'We have a complete set of left hand prints but they don't match to anyone'
