Register everyones DNA, good idea?
"Sir Stephen Sedley, one of England’s most experienced Appeal Court judges, claims that it would be fairer to obtain the DNA from the whole of the British population whether involved in crime or not. "
TimesOnline United Kingdom If we only have the DNA of previous criminals and suspects, aren't they being treated unfairly, because they are more likely to get caught due to their presence in the database? This could be the right thing for both the UK and the US. Who's with me?

Re: Register everyones DNA, good idea?
I feel that the person who attempts to register my DNA in a government database should be shot point blank in the head with my legally owned Glock 22 .40.

Not sure what safeguards are in place for preventing the police from arresting people on the flimsiest of reasons to record their DNA.

[ QUOTE ] Don't you want to reduce crime? How many serial rapists are getting off scot free because they currently have a clean record? [/ QUOTE ] I'll bite, how any in the USA? [/ QUOTE ] Yes, this happens all the time. A young lady is raped, the police take her to the ER, do a rape kit, the DNA gets no hits, so they stop. They say "We're very sorry, but there is nothing we can do." Get real. This argument is LAME!

Personal autonomy is anti-social, right? If you don't support invasive monitoring of everything, you support murderers, rapists, and child predators. I suppose the OP won't mind giving me keys to his house so I can check up on him and make sure he's complying with my personal standards.

Meanwhile we have stop light cameras etc. to catch minor violations. If I had to choose between the cameras and the DNA (if we could only have one) - I'd take the DNA database. What about you?
