EngineerJet 191 Posted December 3, 2014 I live in Edison and the lady there says if I have to get re-fingerprinted after 5 years when applying for permits. Is this true? If it is not true is there anything I can do to get them to comply with current laws? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 3, 2014 I live in Edison and the lady there says if I have to get re-fingerprinted after 5 years when applying for permits. Is this true? If it is not true is there anything I can do to get them to comply with current laws? Current law does not preclude repeat fingerprinting, it is left to the discretion of the CLEO. We all know that's BS and that prints don't change, but somebody, somewhere is making money from this - maybe Sagem Morpho kicks back to the PD for each applicant sent. It is not required by law, but not prohibited either. In lieu of prints an on-line non-criminal background check can be performed. Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manny_0311 0 Posted December 3, 2014 I think its a federal thing honestly. When I was in the Marines I had to get reprinted for clearance since the ones they had on file were over 5 years old. I live in Edison as well and saw it on the form so I assume its the same. Didnt think much of it. Other than it will be annoying when the time comes.

AnthonyG 36 Posted December 3, 2014 Its a town nonsense requirement. My local pd makes you get reprinted every 3 years here in Jackson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,916 Posted December 3, 2014 Get a copy of the instructions on the NJSP web site. For existing FPID card holders they do not list fingerprinting, only for initial applications. Is it worth asking your PD how many times they have asked for this and the prints came back different? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a way for the state and whatever police department to inconvenience lawful gun owners. Plain and simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeythumbs 1 Posted December 4, 2014 Jackson is actually if you dont get pistol permits within 2 years from original need to be reprinted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Velocity 0 Posted December 7, 2014 Jackson is actually if you dont get pistol permits within 2 years from original need to be reprinted Interesting. So I just went through my last batch of permits issued six months ago. If I apply for more within the next eighteen months there's no need to get re-fingerprinted?

PK90 3,570 Posted December 7, 2014 Why aren't you guys applying months prior to the current permits expiring? If you overlap the permits, there is never a need to wait for a permit ever again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my understanding when I went in to get the papers for permits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuktuk 16 Posted December 8, 2014 a lot of PDs / towns do it now. Fair Lawn does it. My buddy lives in Edgewater and they make him do it every year ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 177 Posted December 8, 2014 This re-fingerprinting business is nothing short of a scam and abuse of authority. It is another way PD's use guise of law in order to discourage NJ citizens from exercising their 2A rights. Imagine if you had go through hoops like this in order to exercise your right to vote every year. Civil rights suits would be abound with the courts blowing the scheme out of the water. Alas, when it comes to guns in this part of the country... rights take second seat to the political aspirations of the courts that subside over us.
