    fingerprints, toe prints, footprints, palmprints, lip prints and even ear prints have all been successfully used to identify the perpetrators of crime. Any surface of the body which is provided with sweat glands can produce a viable latent print. Of course you need a comparison print, but other that that....YES

    Many modern hospitals take finished footprints of newborns, to make beneficial they are not getting mixed up. Their hands and arms are too tiny to be fingerprinted. curiously the footprints are sufficiently distinctive that the infants are not getting mixed up, yet with basically at maximum a hundred or so others to choose for between. Even then, it rather is greater a count of finished shape and length, extremely than the tiny strains they use for fingerprint id. different than for the topic of criminals quite often wearing shoes, maximum persons additionally positioned on shoes, so making use of foot or toe prints for any objective may be awkward. plenty simpler to apply the hands, that are rather much constantly uncovered. it is helpful not basically in figuring out criminals by making use of the prints they left at the back of, yet in finger or hand popularity protection utility. So because of the inconvenience and scarcity of usefulness, not even a remarkable style of learn has been achieved on footprinting. there has been learn on different physique areas, extremely the eyes (retina and iris popularity), back quite often for defense makes use of. yet those are greater possibly to alter by making use of themselves over the years than fingerprints.
