OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Fingerprinting required for violators.

- Since O.C.G.A. § 27-1-33 could be violated in such a manner that it involved firearms or other dangerous weapons where fingerprinting would be mandatory in order to promote consistency in the treatment of offenders, this offense shall be designated as an offense for which those charged with a violation are to be fingerprinted. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. 89-52.
