Crime-Busting with Laser Printers![]() Printer Supplies Finder
Counterfeiters beware. Your penchant for using your laser printer to illegally produce currency,
passports and other federally regulated documents may soon get you into trouble, if it hasn't
already. While some might argue that counterfeiting is the sincerest form of flattery, it is generally
looked down upon by the government and most upstanding citizens. What you may not know is
that should you choose to use your laser printer for anything other than work, personal
communication, romantic haikus, cookbooks and other run-of-the-mill (i.e. LEGAL) purposes, that
same printer may aid law enforcement in staging a friendly visit to your home, office, or
well-camouflaged woodland cabin.
![]() While the installation of this technology has been standard practice for printer companies, consumers are by and large left unaware of this feature. This raises some interesting questions regarding privacy and technology. It can be unsettling, the notion of your computer accessories ratting you out to the Man whether or not you're engaged in criminal behaviors. You can relax a little, though, and stop planning for a future of exclusive pen and crayon use. Assuming you are not currently counterfeiting money or documents and being sought after by the government, miniscule printed code and print pattern recognition software is not much of a threat to your printing or privacy. So before you decide you want to become an instant millionaire or create a new identity for yourself via laser printer, you might want to reconsider. Your printer is an indispensable, powerful tool for business and personal use. It just might not be inclined (or programmed) to cover for you when the Secret Service comes knocking. |
