Federal Government To Take DNA Sample Of Everyone They Detain

[Aught Six]

Feds to collect DNA from every person they arrest

[salukipv1]

Good?

They already do this for dui's etc...I think least in our state, pretty much any arrest gets you a DNA swab i think nowadays.

Not sure knowing DNA will help do much since they seem to not enforce any laws pertaining to any real matters these days.

They already take your photo and fingerprints, that's enough in my book. If you have no priors they have no acceptable reason to take anything more than what they already do. The fourth and sixth ammendments exist for a reason.

Are you sure about that? The government has already over stepped their authority and given us SS,Medicare and all the other social crap they have no business being in, why would it stop there?

I am not in favor of taking a sample after an arrest. I would favor it after a conviction for a serious crime only.

Sorry Aught. I posteda threadabout this as well. I should have looked first. Whoops.

LOL, not a problem. Whatever it takes to get people talking about it...

An image of a fingerprint? Absolutely. No problem. Part of your biological essence, a part of your body? I don't like it, and certainly not for people who are not convicted...
