A latent print is one that is left by accident, whether it can be seen by the naked eye or not. A latent print might only have a part of the fingerprint, or part of the fingerprint might be smudged. It might also happen that there are overlapping fingerprints. These overlapping fingerprints could be from the same person, or more than one person. For example, a TV remote control, almost everyone in the house touches it, so there are possible overlapping fingerprints. Latenet fingerprints tend to be less reliable than other types of fingerprints.
