Feds to collect DNA from every person they arrest

The government plans to begin collecting DNA samples from anyone arrested by a federal law enforcement agency — a move intended to prevent violent crime but which also is raising concerns about the privacy of innocent people.

People (in the US anyway) have a right to privacy; the SCOTUS said so in Roe v. Wade.

What you suggest will very likely lead to tyranny.

NOT ENOUGH!!!
I THINK EVERY PERSON SHOULD BE THUMB RETINAL AND DNA SCAN.

CAMERAS SHOULD INHABIT ANY PLACE THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING, OBVIOUSLY IN PUBLIC. BUT ALSO IN PEOPLES HOMES, THESE CAMERAS SHOULD BE FED TO HUB WHERE PEOPLE MONITOR THE FEEDS AND SEND LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN APPLICABLE.

NOW MY ONLY QUESTION PEOPLE IS IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE MEASURES

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING.

BRAVO FEDS

BUT NOT ENOUGH!!

Are you freakin kidding me? First I read about Bridgette Bardeau getting prison time for saying that Muslims are starting wars. Freedom of speech? hmmmm, then I read that we are training a one-world military, and now they are going to get everyone's DNA sample? Hmmmm, do ya think that just maybe we might be losing all of our freedoms in this country? See ya in the soup line or perhaps when we are standing in line for the so-called "de-lousing" machine. WAKE UP!

It's a invasion of a person's privacy. I can see collecting DNA after someone's been found guilty of a crime, but not before. Innocent until proven guilty.

Boy howdy and as the gov and business work hand in hand, business will know your whole family trees deficits, you know, like a lot of cancer, diabetes, strokes, heart disease at a young age and tons more and it won't just be from criminals.

Why not just jump off a tall bridge. I heard the feds said it was cool. You get extra points if your from the South and white. Just get some old innertubes tie them to your feet and the other end to the bridge and yell Airborne. But throw your pitt first to test the wind and don't forget your little hat with the tin foil in side and the propeller on top. Did you go to N.C. State by any chance?

I think it was Oliver Wendell Holmes who said that such things only matter to offenders. Although I am not an offender, I oppose such measures because as Lord Acton said, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." It would be the beginning of the end of our great democracy, or was that the Patriot Act...

They only collect the DNA from people who commit violent crimes. So most of us have nothing to worry as long as you don't commit a federal crime. I think it is a good idea and might solve some crimes that have not been solved yet.

I think Roe vs. Wade is a baby murder law.

If you can not afford it do not 'do it'. Sex is not something that just feels good it is how people are made and people seem to forget this.

If you have nothing to hide why do you mind having a DNA record? As a matter of fact I think everytime you go to the doctor you should have a DNA update so that doctors can better understand the DNA mutation process.

To have a historical data record of your DNA could prove priceless as long as the government is not the only people privy to this information as to misuse this information.

I would want my DNA a matter of public record.

Oh, of course!

And because >YOU< HATE WOMEN and CHILDREN so much, why you would just 'sacrifice' them to the altar of your favorite demigod, right?

RAPE THEM! Yes! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE ALL ABOUT, ISN'T IT?

A PEDOPHILE =AND= A MISOGYNIST.

So, it's settled then: YOU would rather see a woman face-down in an ally, raped, stabbed, and bleeding to death, because >YOU< consider an unarmed woman to be morally superior to a woman standing over her attacker, with a smoking gun in hand.

Right?
