I see, i see.Well, but the argument, that the fingerprints are not in a centraized database, is no arguement: the polices will have drect access to the data after closingtime of the local resident's regristration office and at weekends. A centralized acces is simply not neccessary in a dezentralised, but connected system.
Furthermore, on the EU-level a centralized european database of all europeans is planned -> Eurodac
These are european strategies, therefore we have to fight it on a european level.
