    I wonder…

    Since I got arrested once for a fight at highschool (self defence btw), and got fingerprinted. And since they fingerprint you every time you get arrested (I assume that’s what they do, right?) Anyone impersonating me would actually get found out, since their fingerprints wouldn’t match the record…

    So actually, if you already got arrested before, you’re immune to identity thiefs using your name to commit crimes…

    Right?

    🤔

      Alternatively, do an fbi background check at your local post office, or get a passport and they’ll capture the same biometrics.
