WhatsApp drug dealer convicted using fingerprints taken from photo

WhatsApp drug dealer convicted using fingerprints taken from photo

Coming soon: pixelated fingers. "Police in South Wales have arrested a drug dealer based on a WhatsApp message with a photograph of the dealer’s hand holding an assortment of pills, according to a report from the BBC. Despite that the photo only offers a glimpse of a small part of the dealer’s fingerprints — which weren’t entirely useful in actually locating the dealer — forensic scientists were able to use those pieces to confirm that the identity of the suspect matched the person police officers had apprehended."
