DNA For Misdemeanors?

January 19, 2008

Sorry Mike Bloomberg. I like a lot of what you stand for, but not your newest idea of testing every traffic violator with a DNA swab just to add to the government database.  For that, I think police must need probable cause for a serious crime. 

Does anyone care that the government seems intent on amassing an enormous database of its population? Ssoon they won’t let babies out of hospitals without putting the DNA in a government database first.  Where will it stop? Sure, it might be good for cops, but lots of things are good for the police that aren’t good for the rest of us citizens.
