Washington State Wants DNA From All Arrestees
An anonymous reader writes in to say that "Suspects arrested in cases as minor as shoplifting would have to give a DNA sample before they are even charged with a crime if a controversial proposal is approved by the Legislature. "It is good technology. It solves crimes," claims Don Pierce, executive director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. Under the bill, authorities would supposedly destroy samples and DNA profiles from people who weren't charged, were found not guilty or whose convictions were overturned. Others believe that this is just another step in the process to build a national DNA database with everyone in it."
I'll just laugh, and spit in their faces!... wait... damnit.
The sovereignty of the state ends at my surface of skin. That's a boundary I am willing to protect with force if necessary.
Then quit leaving your goddamn DNA everywhere you go.
Someone should follow legislators and cops around and collect trash that has thier DNA on it. If they ask tell them it is for a DNA database as you take thier picture.
I bet many people in that situation would be willing to offer a small sample of saliva instead...
Or give them a stool sample. Chimpanzee-style.
Momentarily, the need for the construction of new light will no longer exist.
but I thought I was just playing with fingerpaints!
Please. We live in more enlightened times. Nobody would care any less if she was dark haired and dark skinned, provided she was still as hot as e.g. Halle Berry.
