A method of apprehending a criminal, including scanning fingerprint images from a contact area of at least one item at a point-of-sale (POS) location and/or point-of-entry (POE) location and transmitting the fingerprint images to a local or remote electronic device to identify the criminal is presented. A fingerprint recognition and collection device is also presented including a fingerprint scanner for scanning fingerprint images from a contact area of at least one item; a transmitting unit for transmitting the fingerprint images; a receiving unit for receiving the fingerprint images; and an analyzing unit for analyzing the fingerprint images to identify persons of interest. The fingerprint scanner operates concurrently with a price scanner and/or ticket scanner. The fingerprint scanner is fixedly secured at the POS location and/or the POE location and operates concurrently with the price scanner and/or ticket scanner.

1. A fingerprint recognition and collection device, comprising: a fingerprint scanner configured for attempting to receive fingerprint images from a contact surface of at least one of a plurality of items being purchased by a subject without directly scanning (i) a finger of the subject and/or (ii)
1. A fingerprint recognition and collection device, comprising: a fingerprint scanner configured for attempting to receive fingerprint images from a contact surface of at least one of a plurality of items being purchased by a subject without directly scanning (i) a finger of the subject and/or (ii) non-purchasing objects handled by the subject;a transmitting unit for transmitting the fingerprint images;a receiving unit for receiving the fingerprint images; andan analyzing unit for analyzing the fingerprint images to aid law enforcement to identify whether the subject is a person of interest. 2. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint scanner operates concurrently with a price scanner. 3. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint scanner operates concurrently with a ticket scanner. 4. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, further comprising a comparison module for comparing the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner to stored fingerprint images. 5. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, further comprising a storage module for storing the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner, wherein the storage module is one of a local storage module and a remote storage module. 6. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the analyzing unit is pre-configured to automatically discard fingerprint data related to a person scanning the at least one of a plurality of items being purchased by the subject. 7. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, further comprising a processing unit for indicating the time, day, and location of the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner. 8. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, further comprising an illuminating unit for illuminating the contact surface of the at least one of the plurality of items being purchased by the subject to increase a probability of acquiring the clear, accurate, and identifiable fingerprint of the subject. 9. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner are encoded and encrypted before being transmitted by the transmitting unit to the receiving unit. 10. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint scanner includes a collection of fingerprint scanners positioned in a vicinity of a price scanner and/or ticket scanner to receive the multiple scanning attempts of the at least one of the plurality of items to increase a probability of acquiring the clear, accurate, and identifiable fingerprint of the subject. 11. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint scanner is fixedly secured at a point of sale (POS) location and/or point-of-entry (POE) location and operates concurrently with a price scanner and/or ticket scanner. 12. The fingerprint recognition and collection device according to claim 11, wherein the POS location and/or POE location is a grocery store or supermarket or entertainment venue. 13. A method of identity verification, the method comprising the steps of: scanning fingerprint images, via a fingerprint scanner, from a contact surface of at least one of a plurality of items being purchased by a subject without directly scanning (i) a finger of the subject and/or (ii) non-purchasing objects handled by the subject;transmitting the fingerprint images via a transmitting unit;receiving the fingerprint images via a receiving unit; andanalyzing the fingerprint images to aid law enforcement to identify whether the subject is a person of interest;wherein multiple scanning attempts of the at least one of the plurality of items renders a clear, accurate, and identifiable fingerprint of the subject. 14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the step of concurrently operating the fingerprint scanner with a price scanner. 15. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the step of concurrently operating the fingerprint scanner with a ticket scanner. 16. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the steps of: comparing the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner to stored fingerprint images via a comparison module; andstoring the fingerprint images scanned by the fingerprint scanner via a storage module, the storage module being one of a local storage module and a remote storage module. 17. The method according to claim 13, wherein the identity verification includes at least one of pending lawsuits, judgments, liens, criminal records, charges, and convictions. 18. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the step of fixedly securing the fingerprint scanner at a point of sale (POS) location and/or point-of-entry (POE) location to operate concurrently with a price scanner and/or ticket scanner. 19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the POS location and/or the POE location is a grocery store or supermarket or entertainment venue. 20. A method of apprehending a criminal, the method comprising the steps of: scanning fingerprint images from a contact surface of at least one of a plurality of items being purchased by a subject without directly scanning (i) a finger of the subject and/or (ii) non-purchasing objects handled by the subject at a point-of-sale (POS) location and/or point-of-entry (POE) location; andtransmitting the fingerprint images to a local or remote electronic device to identify whether the subject is the criminal;wherein multiple scanning attempts of the at least one of the plurality of items renders a clear, accurate, and identifiable fingerprint of the subject.
