(2) The possession, use or threatened use of a firearm or a deadly weapon.

2. The fingerprints of a child who is in custody but who is not subject to the provisions of subsection 1 may be taken if a law enforcement officer finds latent fingerprints during the investigation of an offense and the officer has reason to believe that the latent fingerprints are those of the child. The officer shall use the fingerprints taken from the child [for the purpose of making] to make an immediate comparison with the latent fingerprints. If the comparison is:

If the child from whom the fingerprints are taken subsequently is not adjudicated delinquent, the parent or guardian of the child or, when the child becomes at least 18 years of age, the child, may petition the court for the removal of the fingerprints from any such local file or local system.

(b) Must be submitted to the central repository for Nevada records of criminal history if the child is adjudicated delinquent for an act that, if committed by an adult, would be a felony or sexual offense, and may be submitted to the central repository for any other act. Any such fingerprints submitted to the central repository must be submitted with a description of the child and the unlawful act, if any, that the child committed. The central repository shall retain the fingerprints and such information of the child under special security measures that limit inspection of the fingerprints and such information to law enforcement officers who are conducting criminal investigations and to officers and employees of the central repository who are assisting law enforcement officers with criminal investigations or who are conducting research or performing a statistical analysis.

(c) Must not be submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation unless the child is adjudicated delinquent for an act that, if committed by an adult, would be a felony or a sexual offense.

4. A child who is in custody must be photographed for the purpose of identification. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the photographs of the child must be kept in the file pertaining to the child under special security measures that limit inspection of the photographs to law enforcement officers who are conducting criminal investigations. If a court subsequently determines that the child is not delinquent, the court shall order the photographs to be destroyed.

5. Any person who willfully violates any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.".
