The problem is not the DNA tagging. The problem is due process. When government, or an individual representing it, becomes corrupt then all the wonderful tools used to prosecute bad people become tools to prosecute good people wrongly for political gain. NIfong gave us a great demonstration of this. People must remain ever diligent of their government, no matter how benign they might think it is, but that is not a reason to deny government the tools it needs to perform it’s designated functions. It is, however, a great reason to give corrupt government officials the worst punishment possible.

So if DNA is all it takes to convict someone, then if I wanted to get away with a crime, I would go into a public restroom and collect some samples off of the urinals, plant them where the deed was done, and wait for the UK mentality to take hold here where they want everyone’s DNA entered into a database from birth and voila a match is found. Now the person would be completely innocent but just try proving that, why else would your DNA be on the body huh????
