Chicago Homesellers Will Need To Be Fingerprinted : The Real Estate Bloggers

To help combat real estate fraud the city of Chicago is requiring starting June 1st that homesellers provide a fingerprint. With rampant fraud occurring in the city, this is not a bad idea. But being a libertarian, the idea of a government official taking my fingerprint disturbs me. I would like to see that these fingerprints be destroyed after a period of time.
Fingerprinting is something we often associate with crime. So the fact that Cook County home sellers will soon have to provide a thumb print left some people shocked.
“I wouldn’t like that at all. I don’t think that’s necessary,” said Chicagoan Donald Hayes.
“I don’t know what I think about that. Not very good, I think, said Jenny Armstrong of Lake Villa.
The new law, which is set to go into effect June 1, 2009, will force anyone selling property in Cook County to provide a thumbprint from their right hand.

Doesn't really surprise me near Chicago. my wife works for a company that does background screening. According to her if you want ot steal an identity or commit a crime go to Chicago. There seems to be poor organization and slow data entry when it comes to public records. basically you can commit a crime, get arrested, get released, commit another crime in another part of town, and law enforcement at that time may have no knowledge of the prior offense. The courts are backlogged or at the very least slow. And apparently they do not require identification to get a drivers license etc. Identity theft is rampant as a result. Basically the beuacracy to protect to citizens is getting in the way of protecting the citizens.

Oh, and guess what, our fellow Americans just elected a product of the Chicago Politcal Machine to the White House.
