View original postIts not invasive and it catches rapists and murderers. Where is the potential for abuse or harm here?

What happens to DNA samples for people that are later acquitted?

And why do you suddenly trust the government to properly care for / manage DNA samples when you don't trust it to do a single, solitary, good god-damn thing ELSE properly?


Again, the balance has to be against potential harm or abuse. I'm asking what that is quite openly cause I don't see it. I consider the size and extent of the government to be quite absurd but catching rapists and murderers falls pretty squarely within their legitimate domain. Tell me what potential for harm or abuse exists here? How is this different from finger printing?

Why? Urza - 04/06/2013 08:50:19 AM 670 Views
Because it's a search which should be protected under the 4th Amendment. Ghavrel - 04/06/2013 03:38:18 PM 627 Views

Excepting fingerprints, those things are in plain sight, so not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Joel - 10/08/2013 10:36:08 AM 526 Views

It isn't the immediate harm, but the potential for abuse. HyogaRott - 06/06/2013 06:17:58 PM 615 Views
The harm is to presumption of innocence, by conviction through illegally obtained evidence. Joel - 10/08/2013 11:07:59 AM 660 Views

Don't know why it matters. DNA is on file. So what? Rape anybody lately? *NM* Nighthawk - 04/06/2013 04:09:08 AM 282 Views

I don't have any issue with the decision; however, the possibility of abuse should be watched. HyogaRott - 04/06/2013 03:11:02 PM 594 Views
