Long Island, I remember this vividly but my parents do not recall at all. They say they would have stopped it, but I swear this happened lol

It happened. The police came to take our prints and they framed it as something that would help in case we were abducted. I was in the 4th grade and remember that it seemed fishy but I was too young to put my finger onto why. Good news is the cops in my po dunk town we’re probably too incompetent to keep any records of these prints.

I don't think they were actually local police. Imagine the problem of domestic terrorism from a government standpoint. Not having a complete database of fingerprints is a gigantic hole in your security apparatus. And unlike most problems, this one has a practical solution.
With a government that lied about the extent to which it was surveilling every person in the USA, and a population that gleefully believed it, I think the chances are pretty slim these events didn't take place, and that we're collectively imagining it.
