DNA databases

[Aberlin]

My only problem with it in the other thread was the use of the phrase "Any Crime" that's too wide of a loop.

By the way, when a person talks about DNA and it's uses, the conversation should include the synthesis of that DNA, once a strand is developed it can be synthesised and reproduced.

The uses of reproduced DNA at this time scientifically are boundless both positive and negative.

The right person with the right motive could pretty much make anyone who's DNA is stored guilty of multiple crimes.

I'm with you but people could also in theory plant your fingerprints at crime scenes all the same.

Its an invasion of privacy as Shitstorm said in another thread (great post btw), but I think it should be if you've committed certain crimes you get put in the database. This way someone kid who shoplifted doesn't have to get added in.

But like you said, then you have the issue of people planting DNA. I think it would need to be HIGHLY monitored with very strict access and ID verification processes to prove you are authorized to use the system. Along with that, every thing they do should be recorded and scrutinized.

Definitely a pain in the ass but its a thought.
