[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fingerprints would be just part of the evidence. It would place someone in the car. Leading to a photo array (assuming the car jacker had a previous arrest, his booking prints linked to his photo). Once police know who this is they get a warrant to search his social media and his cell phone. Because these kids all talk about everything. A codefendant could be found during this media search.  They can see if the person has been arrested with anyone else ever or who his fellow gang members are. That’s on top of video surveillance of the crime.
So a fingerprint is a lot.[/quote]
Correct, which I also explained in my original post. If the victim (not talking about this particular case) saw the carjackers, fingerprints definitely can get you to an array and a potential ID. I don’t know that prints in a carjacked car alone are enough probable cause for a warrant to get into a phone or social media, but many of the kids are dumb and don’t have their social media set to private. Fingerprints are an incredibly useful tool, but they are a tool, they are not the foundation for an entire prosecution. [/quote]
