Don't let anyone fool you. Every study done since the early 1960's show the same thing: Most crimes are committed by the same small group of carrer criminals. This remains true even in the poorest, crime ridden areas. Most people in prison are repeat offenders, not first time offenders who stole a loaf of bread. If you commit a felony, you will go to prison, not jail. Convicted felons are the most likely to do the same crimes, or worse, after release.
These are the facts, not opinion.
To not do DNA testing with every convicted felon is losing an opportunity to not only solve crimes, protect the public, but also maybe protect the wrongly convicted.
What a stupid concept! After the Mets fans form an alliance with the MSG-Rangers-Knicks Axis of Loserdoom, Yankee Stadium will be up and winning in a couple of months.
In 1979 Congressman Badillo of the Bronx (He recently wasted his time trying to run against Bloomberg for the Republican mayorial nomination without the big bucks) had a plan to rebuild the Bronx sent to then President Jimmy Carter. It would have rebuilt not just the housing, but infrastructure to make it the middle class stonghold it was. Carter said OK, Badillo gave up his congressional seat and, of course, the money never came through. It's hard to think of a place more devastated than South and Central Bronx in the late 1970's, and yet almost nothing was done.
As a paying fast food customer, can I take a few pounds of napkins and straws with me to go along with every packet of sauce, salt and ketchup not bolted down?
A kneejerk reaction would be sending a "silver bullet" like my cable company did to fry any TV and VCR getting illegal cable and hosting a press conference to brag NOBODY cheats the cable company.

You can't rebuild Flushing. There's no parking for the construction trucks.
Face it, to The FCC Wi-Fi is another place to get some eggrolls.
