In the UK - yes as you were bound over. In 1983, if you had been found 'not guilty' they would have had to have been destroyed, but nowadays they remain on file even if you are acquitted - as does your DNA and photograph.
I'm a police officer, but I still think that this is a gross infringements of our human rights, and building up a DNA database by the back door....
And yes, I do read The Guardian....

Yes. And every single crime that's committed they'll check your particular fingerprints with those left at the scene of the crime! AND that goes for crimes through INTERPOL! Boy, have you got to be a little angel for the rest of your life!

If you were arrested and in your booking the police fingerprinted you, yes, they are sent into the FBI data base and are on record forever

Yes. They would have been kept on file and then loaded into the national database once it was set up. They don't get rid of those things. You've seen how much evidence they keep for years and years.

Yes they will do. Once you are fingerprinted the information is entered into the national crimes database.
But why worry if you haven't done anything?

Yup - fingerprints stay on file. By now, they're almost certainly in a database or three as well.

I'd guess the local police still have a copy.
Likewise the state police, the FBI, and Homeland Security.

Yes. They were probably put on file with the FBI and added to the National Database.

If you where convicted in a court of law your finger prints will remain on file forever.
