If you are charged only with offenses classified as violations (such as disorderly conduct under the Penal Law) you will probably not be fingerprinted. If you are charged with a crime (a misdemeanor or felony, as defined by the Penal Law, Vehicle and Traffic Law or New York City Administrative Code), you will be fingerprinted and photographed. It is also probable that you will be charged with a crime, relating to possession of the contraband.

If you have any item that the police officer believed to be contraband, that item will be listed on a separate voucher as “arrest evidence,” and will not be available for you to pick up later.

Having this information will make it easier for you to retrieve your property once you are released. If this happens, ask the officer for the “Voucher number” that will be used for your property, and also write down the officer’s name and shield number. However, if an officer is processing a large number of arrests at one time, your Voucher form is not ready before you are taken to a cell or another location. You will be given a “Voucher” form listing your property, so that you can retrieve it later. Items other than contraband are held for safekeeping while you are in custody. They also demanded that the police take quick action against all miscreants.At the precinct, a police officer will search you and take personal property, such as house keys, backpacks, purses, medication, large sums of money, or valuable jewelry, as well as any unlawful items you happen to have in your possession (contraband).
