FIELD: medicine, more specifically, legal medicine. SUBSTANCE: claimed method compares favorably with the known ones by the fact that it allows obtaining finger-prints in course of escalator running, on external side of rails. In braking of one of escalator rail bands and slowing down of the other band of rails with sensitive layer results in instinctive grip of rail, and band with sensitive layer, by hand. This makes it possible to transmit information to the center and to identify person under interest, and erase the sensitive layer with subsequent application of a new layer, if sensitive layer becomes unfit for use each time, or after using it several times. EFFECT: prompt obtaining of finger-prints. 2 cl
