Computers are also used, where they look for those unique features and compare with a database, but yes the final check is always made by people. So not just by eye, but eyes and human brains are still better at understanding images than computers, hence that always being the final confirmation.
Karl Frederik Færch Fischer I am an AI engineer. AI has beaten humans in detecting these things with less errors. Plus there's pressure over humans sometimes which can make them go wrong.
Sanjog Wayne Nice to know, is that because fingerprints is a nice simple subset of images or does that also go for recognizing elements in astronomical images? Might be longer ago than I remember it to be, but a year or two ago I did see something about citizen science where you could look at images of star clusters and identify elements that computers were less accurate at.
I hate it. Really, all these videos try to be cute and funny by doing the most basic comedy tropes of the past 20 years. You're not comedians. You are at best the funny guy in the office, but that doesn't mean I want to watch my coworkers youtube channel. Just get to the point Abed.
The Touch id sensor will send the fingerprint information into the Secure Enclave, and the Secure Enclave will declare whether or not the fingerprint is valid with a cryptographically signed pass-fail message so basically its a middle man and apple cant read it. Thats why they didn't give the FBI a master key because of potential manipulation. Also if you're going through airport Secuirty turn off Touch ID, they can ask for your fingerprint but you dont have to issue a passcode ;)
In a forensics class i took the prof showed us a bunch of cases where false fingerprint matches basically sent people to prison. Sometimes they were matched w/ as few as a dozen or so minutiae, and little attention paid to the inconsistencies. Crazy. When the stakes are so high you'd think people would be a bit more scrupulous
Hi, just wanted to share something here. In the video they say that there is computer software that can compare prints. In school, we actually learned how this software works: By hand, people mark the special points of a fingerprint (like the center of a swirl, the point where a line divides in two, etc.). The computer software processes this unique pattern into a unique code. When comparing fignerprints, the computer compares the codes of the different fingerprints and thats how it finds a match. I dont know if i said it 100% correct, but it is something like this.
You missed out the 'E' of ACE-V. That said, this is one of the only cases were a fingerprint has been misinterpreted due to human error. Luckily due to databases such as AFIS in the US and IDENT1 in the UK these mistakes are almost non existant now but we have to remember that despite the systems in place there is no evidence to suggest that two people do not have the same fingerprint. In the UK (as of 2019) the IDENT1 database had 9 million prints on record with no two prints being identical but we have almost 8 billion people on the planet. As we do not have a record of all people it's impossible to verify whether or not two people do in fact have an identical fingerprint.
I love you guys soo much, do u guys think than you could do a video on foster care/ the care system. Im a ward of the state and am constantly stereotyped, I've been denied jobs, school application and living arrangements because I live in care
D'Arci R , no my case worker is amazing and has helped me Sooo much. I just get so many stereotypes from people. Some people assume because Ive lived in foster care I must be a liar. I'm lucky because I work hard in school but so many kids don't get my oppertuneties. I feel like it would be a good topic for vox to explore and start a conversation around
I'm sorry to hear that :/ I had no idea that was the case. Is there anyway you can think of that we could help change the stigma? My grandparents used to Foster and I want to, too, after I'm financially secure enough to care for children, so it's something I care about a lot
i learned all this in my forensic science class in high school. it was fun seeing fingerprints on bottles using the hot glue method but i was pretty upset when i learned how unreliable it was because of how often unreadable smudges and half prints are made
I am surprised that this video is not even mentioning the fact that fingerprints are the easiest thing to reproduce. Seriously, you can copy anybody's fingerprint and paste it anywhere for les than $30 of material!
Law enforcement using a things call AFIS which links into III. AFIS is Automated Fingerprint Identification System while III is Interstate Identification Index. And to be in the III database you have to be charged with a crime prior. So finding people can be interesting if they'd had no previous contact with law enforcement.
It's not. It's purely psychological. They trick you into confessing by saying that they know you're lying. I'm pretty sure I would fail because I have anxiety and and mild autism and would be nervous as hell
Great vid, would like to see something about the possibility of putting someone else's fingerprint somewhere, due to the fact that fingerprints can be gathered easily with infra-red cameras as the german chaos computer club showed.
TGDS is wrong, there is no genetic linkage of fingerprints, however there have been a small handful of cases where very similar finger prints have been drawn, to the point that multiple experts were fooled. This can be the result of a bad pull, where the print lifted was done less than perfectly leaving the larger print obscured by error or method (cyanoacrylite, or super glue, was the standard for years, a super heated glass alternative is slowly gaining traction), or dumb luck. However, in these cases, like the one mentioned in the video, the other techniques of forensics and forensic science come into play. Hard to pin a man with a perfect alabi like the man in the video. It is exceedingly rare for anyone to have the same fingerprint, why, as the video says, prints can match to a .1% level of error, it's even more rare that these matching individuals would be anywhere geographicly close to each other. Fingerprints are only one part of the process.
I think you have it backwards. They started using them in the USA because two half brothers were in prison together (and looked similar) and they weirdly both had the same name. So they started looking into other ways of identifying people and came up with fingerprints (which France was already using)
one day i was messing around with the school biometrics and told my friend to try it even tho he didn't show up the day our prints were taken, his print had a match in the system and we were all laughing about it
J Girl not crime, our school tried to use biometrics for attendance and he didn't show up the day the fingerprints were taken, so someone in the school has one finger with similar enough fingerprints
Or maybe he infiltrated a terrorist network in order to preform a false flag attack, his representation of the terrorist, Islam conversions all part of a plot a deep cover plot to build support in the eu for war with Iran / genocide If the FBI really wanted to put him in jail they probably could’ve done so in the context of the court case The fact that both are plausible scary
I'm quite curious about fingerprint analysis using ai. Seems like an ideal field and probably more reliable than two people looking at them as going: ah yes,a match.
So how do they have a database of fingerprints, if you have never committed a crime where you were fingerprinted? Does apple really give our fingerprints over? serious question.
Prints are lifted from suspects usually some time after the crime is committed and then put into a larger database. So ex-cons, old suspects from other crimes, people already in the system can be pulled by software after a print is lifted. However, forensic science uses way more than just finger prints to determine who may have been at a crime scene, so the good old fashioned gumshoe detective work is what is normally used to find who should have their prints drawn for comparison.
Sincerelyy Eccentric there are tons of finger print databases. Military keeps enlistees are on file in the event you go to war and are killed and lose your tags. I believe police, fireman, emergency workers, and other law enforcement types get printed for similar reasons. All people charges with a crime get printed so that they can't get into and shananogans in prison with identity swapping. All in all I'd guess 4-5 percent of Americans prints are on file somewhere.
Sincerelyy Eccentric when I want to come in The Usa they scan all 5 fingers on a scanner so they have every fingerprint from people who came from germany on plane
Sincerelyy Eccentric Just take a good fingerprint samples of a person, make huge pile of copies, put it in an AI algorithm and you're done. You honestly don't need to have a record. But for previous convicts, it's better to have a record.
Me! All of my fingers have loops, except the indices, which are whorls. They seem to be mirrored, too, leaning to the left on my right hand and vice versa on my left. I can't look close enough to tell if they're exactly mirrored or not, but it's interesting. My toe prints are the same way, big toes are whorls, the rest have loops. Really interesting.
The video is not clear regarding the definition of a false positive. By false positive, do we mean a situation in which the fingerprint from the crime scene and the master image taken from the subject are mistakenly said to be a match even though they do not actually display the same features, or, that two or more people may exist with similar enough features that make them indistinguishable? Both are of course errors but of a very different nature.
Sebring got pretty good gas mileage. If that helps. A guy on TH-cam said that his mother must have the same fingerprints as he has because she was able to get into his cell phone that had the fingerprint lockout. How the heck could that be true?
Fingerprint scanners on phones aren't that accurate. There may have been some genetic component that made them just accurate enough to fool the scanner
That does make sense. But every single fingerprint being unique? Are we sure of that? Does AFIS ever come up with multiple hits? Yes. A technician needs to pars out the most likely match. Uniqueness is true to 1 in 64 million people. But with over 300 million people in the US alone, that doesn't go very far. Also, 2 prints may look identical, but some maniac might spot a very minute difference. Granny used to say: "The closer you look, the more you see." Good one granny. So getting back to your answer, you are absolutely correct. Cell phones are not that sophisticated. Thank you for chiming in.
People think that fingerprints are unique but they are not. Its like having a password generator, generating a password with 8 chars, letting it do it 1000 times and when you don't see 2 identical passwords, to claim that the generator generates only unique passwords. Sure with this example you can do the math and point out the possibility and fingerprints are a bit different. To say if fingerprints are perfect, they need perfect fingerprints from everyone. This is still only a possibility. I mean you can play 1000 billion times the lottery and never win anything and on the other hand you can play it twice and both times you hit the jackpot. Both things should be rare, because of the possibility but they can happen. I mean rolling the dice in a perfect random way might end in a result where you never hit the 6. This is very unlikely but not impossible. The question is, if this is unique enough. I mean when there are 10 people that share your fingerprint (not in size), it's unlikely that they will cross your way. There are other ways to make evidence more unique, like the bacteria from your skin. These are 2 pretty unique things and both together give you a more unique evidence. The chance that both these things match with someone else is even more unlikely but also not impossible. When a fingerprint as an evidence is enough, this might cause false cases. When I can proof that I was in an other country and still go to jail, because of the fingerprint, this is terrible.
That's the problem with biometrics in general just think of Amazon's Rekognition software that matched 28 members of congresses faceprints to criminal mugshots and that software was operating at the default threshold of 80% confidence
Every fingerprint needs to be enlarged, divided into sections on a grid and printed so each grid square covers a whole piece of paper. Number the pages, staple together and then compare each grid page with the same numbered grid page of another fingerprint. Each print now looks like a maze book, easily comparable to any other print's grid book. Think giant graph paper in a giant flip book of sorts. This should reduce errors in comparison analysis.
The justice system doesn’t have true justice until we can ensure that innocent people will never be convicted of crimes that they didn’t commit. This makes me think of Anthony Ray Hinton who spent 30 years on death row for crimes he didn’t commit. His story is horrible, but it happens more than we realize. Most of the innocent people on death row, don’t make it out like Anthony.

Wait so fingerprints are just compared side by side with the naked eye? I thought it was more complicated than that
Computers are also used, where they look for those unique features and compare with a database, but yes the final check is always made by people. So not just by eye, but eyes and human brains are still better at understanding images than computers, hence that always being the final confirmation.
A human can do it, but using some thin picks and a magnifying lens to follow the ridges looking for similarities and differences

I'm really curious about the data Apple has from all of our finger prints lol
As far as I know the fingerprint data is encrypted and stored locally on the specific device, which would mean that Apple doesn't have that data.
Harshil Patel, apple claim the fingerprint data is store in a chipset in the phone. So no one can have that data, not even apple.
The Touch id sensor will send the fingerprint information into the Secure Enclave, and the Secure Enclave will declare whether or not the fingerprint is valid with a cryptographically signed pass-fail message so basically its a middle man and apple cant read it.
Thats why they didn't give the FBI a master key because of potential manipulation.
Also if you're going through airport Secuirty turn off Touch ID, they can ask for your fingerprint but you dont have to issue a passcode ;)
Karl Frederik Færch Fischer
You're too dumb to believed Apple protected your data and privacy
Jay frawn that would be against their TOC and privacy policy, destroying their business immediately.

i learned all this in my forensic science class in high school. it was fun seeing fingerprints on bottles using the hot glue method but i was pretty upset when i learned how unreliable it was because of how often unreadable smudges and half prints are made
Fingerprint analysis is good for corroborating evidence, but alone it's not very compelling.
That's why I only use my feet to steal.
I want as many fingerprints as I can get my hands on
213423 134242 That would leave them with no fingerprints, you heck.
@@audreyn1996yeah but when they come to check your finger print with the one you left at the crime scene it would be different i.e. scar tissue
An update of who the culprit was/is, is absolutely necessary. Also, was it one of your 5 suspects?
I am surprised that this video is not even mentioning the fact that fingerprints are the easiest thing to reproduce. Seriously, you can copy anybody's fingerprint and paste it anywhere for les than $30 of material!

And to be in the III database you have to be charged with a crime prior. So finding people can be interesting if they'd had no previous contact with law enforcement.
0:19 So you just held the evidence with your bare hands. Okay, that would make fingerprint analysis less reliable, huh?
Gerald de Belen ...no, he just removes his own fingerprints from the scan. That's how they work around fingerprint analysis flaws
can you make a video of how reliable is "lie detector test"?
It's not. It's purely psychological. They trick you into confessing by saying that they know you're lying. I'm pretty sure I would fail because I have anxiety and and mild autism and would be nervous as hell
Adam ruins everything did a video on it if you're interested (but it's not new or groundbreaking information, just a fun coverage of basic info)
The real question: how reliable is Vox?
They are an “all things considered” channel it’s one of the things they have that many other channels don’t
To catch how is drinking your coffee, put laxatives in it, and monitor how goes to the restroom more often during the day.
Is next video about “how reliable surveillance cameras footage?”
"that i bring to the office for myself" is the real crime.

Great vid, would like to see something about the possibility of putting someone else's fingerprint somewhere, due to the fact that fingerprints can be gathered easily with infra-red cameras as the german chaos computer club showed.
The short answer is that its so accurate that they had legal grounds to extradite man who has never been to the u.s. for murder.
I wish this came out earlier, Seatte WA is voting on updating their finger print analysis equipment today.
At 1:30 , that’s a delta, not an arch. Arch is a different type of print entirely.
Wasn't there a case of two guys having the exact same fingerprints?
I don't think they were related.
TGDS is wrong, there is no genetic linkage of fingerprints, however there have been a small handful of cases where very similar finger prints have been drawn, to the point that multiple experts were fooled.

Wait, I’m so confused. Does the government have a record of everyone’s finger prints?
99,9% effectiveness is as good as it gets, no method is really ideal.

Who else looked at their fingers ?

vsauce: what is the shortest poem?
the answer for the lazy ones is i with a fingerprint on top.
Me! All of my fingers have loops, except the indices, which are whorls. They seem to be mirrored, too, leaning to the left on my right hand and vice versa on my left. I can't look close enough to tell if they're exactly mirrored or not, but it's interesting. My toe prints are the same way, big toes are whorls, the rest have loops. Really interesting.
Fingerprint anaylsis is not very good. Depending on the severity of the crime, the anaylsis might think differently about the similarities
instead of looking at each one separately, why not put them together under sunlight to see if all the lines match?

2:40 how reliable fingerprint analysis really is
Hey question...maybe you guys can make a vid from it.... but how are websites that you can watch movies or tv shows on for free, not illegal?
So who was the criminal?
The true crime here is that somebody would willingly drink La Croix
But what about those who don't even have fingerprints, adermatoglyphia.
So who drank the coffee?
People think that fingerprints are unique but they are not. Its like having a password generator, generating a password with 8 chars, letting it do it 1000 times and when you don't see 2 identical passwords, to claim that the generator generates only unique passwords.

I'm really surprised you didn't address why fingerprint analysis isn't done by computers.
More reliable than a vox video
Every fingerprint needs to be enlarged, divided into sections on a grid and printed so each grid square covers a whole piece of paper.

This makes me think of Anthony Ray Hinton who spent 30 years on death row for crimes he didn’t commit. His story is horrible, but it happens more than we realize. Most of the innocent people on death row, don’t make it out like Anthony.
The police should divide the profile of the suspect and the fingerprint of the criminal. The Police may reach a biased conclusion.

Very informative 👍
But fingerprint is still more reliable. It's been used for so long with maximum positive results.
