: Thanks rl. I had already looked up the NY law. As you know however... people are being fingerprinted all over the place. The law says no emploee shall be fingerprinted .. unless you work for a municipality etc... It is silent as to non paid workers (ie. interns) Can you volunteer for prints to be taken? If so, will dcjs process them? I am confused.
***DCJS will reveal criminal history information to the following persons:

The defendant themselves via fingerprints sent to DCJS with the appropriate fee(will show sealed information as well)

Someone who gets arrested and is fingerprinted via the police

Those who want to liscence a firearm or work as a police officer(will show sealed info as well)

Those who work for NY state because NY state is authorized by NY DCJS to fingerprint employees/volunteers

A defendant's record via a court order

Any other agency that has a contract authorization with DCJS to fingerprint others. Includes banks, child care agencies.

If the employer is not authorized by DCJS to fingerprint then they cannot legally fingerprint.

Fingerprint info in NY is not open to the public. it is restriced to agencies that are authorized to do it.
