The NSW Ombudsman has called on police investigating cold cases to stop using fingerprints taken when on-the-spot fines were issued.

In a report released yesterday the Ombudsman, Bruce Barbour, said police have refused to give him their legal advice to justify the use of fingerprints collected this way, claiming legal privilege.

''Standard operating procedures of the Forensic Services Group indicate that fingerprints taken by police for the purpose of issuing [criminal infringement notices, known as on-the-spot fines] are routinely checked against the Unsolved Latent Database by the Repeat Offenders Unit,'' the Ombudsman notes in the report.
