(8) the general pattern of the prints is verified first. (9) the unique combination of the loops, arches, and whorls determine the shape of the ridges on a person's fingertips. (10)the particular shape is then checked to see if there is a match with any set of prints on file with the authorities.2

(11)if a match is found, further matching is done by an expert to declare an exact match. (12) examination of the peculiar spacing and the number of tiny holes along the ridges of the prints determine the final proof of a match.
