okay so i recently was at a lady's house watching it for her while she left for the weekend. she found a bottle of prescription pills empty, and it was one of my friend's but i'm not going to rat them out. she said that if i don't know who it is she's going to get it fingerprinted. can she do that? and will it work? if so, how does it work? thanks.

If you were watching the house then you are responsible for anything that happens. Your friend may have committed the crime but you are responsible for it. You need to pay for any loss the lady has.
As for the finger prints. Unless the person was arrested and finger printed "booked" the prints are useless to figure out who's they are. May not be a good print on the little bottle anyway. Especially after the lady touches the bottle to open it up. I would bet there is no print on it but maybe the Lady's now.
What you need to do is tell the lady what happened. Rat on your friend and pay for the pills. You are not rating on anyone because you are already busted.

by the way u asked the question do u mean she stole the pills and left the empty bottle or the bottle was hers and she left it there. fingerprinting is actually fairly costly. considering she's most likely touched the bottle herself i'm gonna say the chances of her takin it into the station and asking for it to be printed would only make her look a bit of a fool. they have forensic police that collect the evidence and ensure it is kept in perfect condition so as they can obtain prints. and the value of a bottle of pills is not going to be substantial enough to cover the cost of prints. i'd say definitely a scare tactic. but that also doesnt mean u shouldn't be scared. u should be pretty apologetic to the lady. yeah u didn't do it yourself however she trusted u with her house and it was your judgement that allowed your mate in there.so end of day she has every right to be pretty dirty at u, and you've got the same right to be tellin your mate to fess up to her. maybe the response from your mate can decide exactly how u rate your friendship from now on in.

This is very simple. i have studied fingerprints at uni. basically yes any surface touched by a hand leaves a fingerprint which can be retrieved. there are three factors working in ur favour. one they fingerprints may have been smudged or dirtied. two it will be expensive and possibly time consuming for the lady to get the fingerprints retrieved. three if they even get the fingerprints they need to match it against someone to make a confirmation of ownership, in other words, without ur friend's fingerprints they cant do anything.

If your friend stole the pills then the lady can file a theft report and the bottle can be fingerprinted. If you know she stole them then you are obligated to tell her because you were responsible for the house. And obviously your friend did not have any respect for you if she put you in that situation. And yes if her prints are on file she can easily be identified.

She is in her right, because of finding the bottle and knowing that it was not there before she left, She can legally get the bottle fingerprinted , because she left you in charge and did not expect to find a bottle even though it was empty , so you may have to swallow your pride an tell the truth, because in her mind she will not trust you again.
So yes she can get the bottle fingerprinted.

It could be a bluff to get you to confess. These are not friends. Friends do not put others in the line of fire. You do not need friends that steal prescription drugs from other peoples homes. Your best bet is to stay mute on this issue unless the police become involved. If the police ask you information, don't talk to them. They will only be gathering evidence against you for a felony case. Possession of prescription drugs without a presciption is a class C felony. Theft of these drugs is even more serious. If you are taken in for questioning, demand a lawyer and refuse to talk. But explain everything that happened to the lawyer. In the future cut all ties with any "friends" who are substance abusers, and criminal deviants. You owe it to yourself to make something of your life, and not ruin your reputation with a felony conviction.

Taking prescriptions is a crime. It could be a serious crime, depending on the type of prescription. Police usually don't waste time and resourses on minor offenses, however, If she has a suspect, she could convice the police to dust the bottle.
There is probably a decent chance of getting a print of the smooth bottle. The fact that you allowed her to take it, and you were "in charge" of the house, would make you an accomplice.

That is another problem with the police. They can pick & choose what is a crime or not. If the women calls the police & reports it, They had better finger print the bottle. especialy since it involves drugs.

Wait there, your so called friend steals these pills from a house that you are responsible for and that's a friend?
Sounds like a drug addict to me, good luck with that friendship. I hope she can get it fingerprinted to bust the drug addict.
