The Pulaski Police Department provided six pharmacies with fingerprinting kits earlier this week.
It's hoped their use will cut down on prescription abuse, as people try to illegally obtain painkillers like Oxycontin.
But Virginia A-C-L-U director Kent Willis says that would be treating sick people like criminal suspects. Police say banks have been using the same fingerprinting kits for years to prevent the cashing of fraudulent checks.

Using a high- tech driving simulator, researchers found that motorists are not as aware of their driving behavior when chatting on the phone.
Results show people drive slightly slower than normal, and react an eighth-of-a-second slower while using a cellphone.
The research also shows using a cellphone is more dangerous than other physical distractions like switching radio stations or eating. Scientists also plan to directly compare TALKING and driving with DRINKING and driving.

Inmates who act out get a blank fired, a verbal warning, and then sprayed with the pellets.
They're only lethal they say if they hit you in the right place.
