My employer is going to start requiring all of us get finger printed for work to meet CJIS compliance as we're going to support a local city government's police department.
Am I a weirdo because I want to refuse? I don't trust our government at all and don't want them having my prints. I've never been arrested nor have I had them taken.
EDIT: This was never a requirement previously.

I deal with this everyday and believe me it’s not optional. If you don’t want to do it then they just won’t be able to use you on that job.

not a big deal imo.
concealed carry/fingerprints
nfa weapon, suppressor/prints
military/prints
somewhere they already have them on file, even if is just from the day you were born they have them.
we have no privacy any more.

Heck we use fingerprint recognition at work to log into some of our workstations. I like it.

I had to start submitting my fingerprints for my professional licenses years ago. They are then submitted yearly to the FBI for background checks because my job does it and then the state does it every time I renew my 3 licenses; not a big deal. I know the DPS has had my thumbprint for at least 10 years.

Part of the reason I won't go get NFA items (suppressors, SBRs) or my conceal carry is I don't want the gubmit having my prints.

They were certainly not taken when I was born. My mother confirmed that, she's worse than I am about not trusting the government.

The government probably already has your prints. I wouldn't worry about it.

My employer is going to start requiring all of us get finger printed for work to meet CJIS compliance as we're going to support a local city government's police department.
Am I a weirdo because I want to refuse? I don't trust our government at all and don't want them having my prints. I've never been arrested nor have I had them taken.
EDIT: This was never a requirement previously. A lot of contracts require employees to have a fingerprint background check. We require it for any employee to have access to credit card transactions. You can refuse but if they don't have anything outside of those contracts they'll just let you go. I manage a lot of people and, frankly, someone refusing to be finger printed would be a HUGE red flag for me.
"Life is a matter of luck and the odds of success are in no way enhanced by extreme caution." - Erich Topp, German U-boat Commander, 1943.
When in doubt, set the hook.

Everybody in my industry has to do it. I don't see it as a big deal. Comes with the turf in some professions.
