I swear I'm a writer...

I honestly have zero idea where to post this, please bear with me. Ok, so this is a really... really odd question, but I'm writing a novel and I need information that in the plot the main character dusts and takes fingerprints off of a crime scene (She's studying forensics at University, dirty cops didnt find crime scene, hence why she's taking the prints). If someone were to just like... show up to a sherrifs office with dusted finger prints to scan in to figure out who's prints they are, would they scan them or be like, nah, sorry?
