Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
They can, but there are a lot of variables that go into lifting useable prints. There are no guarantees the officer(s) will be able to recover a print, but they can certainly try.
Seriously, who writes these questions...? If you want to have a backpack with images of marijuana all over it, knock yourself out. I always like the folks who advertise their recreational activities.
If you want to decorate your backpack with actual "weed all over," be my guest. Depending on where you are in the world, that could be anything from completely legal to a capital offense (death penalty). Laws inside the US vary, and unless the actual marijuana was significant in quantity, you are probably looking at a misdemeanor arrest.
You should probably contact a family attorney in Utah.
If you lie to a law enforcement officer about your age, you could be charged with providing false information to the officer. (The exact name of the crime varies from state to state.) Sounds like you took a minor issue and made it into a crime due to your lack of honesty.

Department policies dictate when a report will be filed by a police officer.
Generally: The same incident will generate only one report. Multiple incidents of the same nature, by the same subject may generate more than one report depending on the circumstances.
For specific questions of law, you should contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.
I have no idea what the laws of your jurisdiction may be. Contact your local law enforcement agency.
