If I get caught, I’ll just tell’em I’m Bill Clinton!


What’s in a name? If I ever get arrested for some disgusting or notorious crime I’m going to tell the cops that my name is William Jefferson Clinton. That may sound cute, but the cops will book me under whatever name I give, and throughout that entire case the name will be attached to that record. Somewhere they may attach other names to the record I have used in the past, but they will never remove William Jefferson Clinton from that record. What’s even more fun is that I happen to know former President Clinton’s date of birth and social security number and they will incorporate this information into the record too. So much for a public criminal court record being proof of anything at all!

So how can anyone tell who is who? The way the cops do this is through numerical values assigned to a full set of 10 fingerprints on an inked card or scan file. That’s a fingerprint classification number that you will see in the upper right corner of a set of fingerprints taken from convicted criminal, Malcolm Little also know as Malcolm X.

Fingerprint classification values are unique enough to separate of the real William Jefferson Clinton from his pretenders. Once a fingerprint classification is made, a unique number that forever identifies person assigned by the FBI. Another unique number is created by the state police agency for their files.

FUN WITH FINGERPRINTS!

Fingerprinting by local cops was too often a disaster. Many local cops did not collect the prints correctly and the fingerprints could not be classified at all. A person could be arrested for a felony, give a phony name and if he got less than a prison term he may never be fingerprinted again! This has gotten better with improved training.

CHANGING FINGERPRINTS…

When the fingerprint system was established criminals tried to defeat it with acid, sandpaper and even cutting the skin. The results made their prints even more unique and identifiable. Bank robber, John Dillinger found this out the hard way.

There is a way to change your fingerprints for good. A person seeking to hide is identity for good can have the skin re-transplanted on his fingers with skin from his toes. The fingerprint technicians can be easily fooled by simply re-transplanting only one or two fingers.

A former client of mine, known at least for a while as, David Pecard actually performed this surgery on himself and spent a couple of decades as a world class imposter who masqueraded as an Army General, medical doctor, lawyer, and was even appointed as a Deputy Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona despite a prior felony arrest record.

DNA will soon be the new standard to supplement fingerprints. That will prove to be entertaining too as scientists are working on ways to change people’s DNA to avoid diseases.

Here is a case where a doctor admitted changing a fugitive's fingerprints.

How was David Pecard one of your former clients?
David Pecard was charged with various offenses in Arizona. I was his defense investigator and we had a happy ending when Pecard was cleared of the charges.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Gun vs. Knife

So you think because you carry and know how to use a gun that you will be able to protect yourself from a knife or cutting instrument attack with ease? For those people that think guns are more dangerous than knives, think again. More than 60% of all people shot with firearms even multiple times survive the attack. Cutting and stabbing victims don’t do nearly as well. Bullet wounds self-seal because of the elastic nature of human tissue. Knife cuts lay open and bleed profusely as the veins and arteries are opened wide. Then there are those laughably ignorant people (too many are politicians) who want cops or civilians confronted by knife wielding criminals to either shoot the knife out of someone’s hand or just shoot to wound. You’re about to see that such an effort will get you killed. Watch this video and you will see the knife can easily beat a gun in any contest.
