People often ask, "How can fingerprints expire?" as they do not change. It is not actually the fingerprints that expire, but the reports that are generated from the fingerprints. The fingerprints are not retained, so an updated report cannot be obtained without new fingerprints. This change, hopefully, will fix the problem and help the case processing times in a small way, at least.
